week three beginners and the Thursday wild weather runners....

Great going again on Tuesday...that homework is paying off. We easily did 3-4 minutes steady running from the offices to the Castle entrance. If you missed this week do not worry just go out and warm up ten minutes or so then walk/jog as your breathing and legs allow, give yourself enough time between jogs to recover and then go again. Aim for 20-25 minutes with a cool down, Try to do that a couple of times before next week, or cross train with a swim, cycle or walk etc. keep up that great positive attitude...if you can get together with others for the homework...it helps to chat too! Hope you are enjoying it as much as I am!

Struggling with the stupid Nike App for tonights stats but take it from me it was 6.63k/4.12m tonight through hail, rain,wind and lightening so WELL DONE the hardcore girls who made it tonight for a lovely run and sprinteroony round the car park.

Good luck to Jillian, Penny, Alison and Wendy who are taking up the jogscotland challenge and doing their leaders course on Saturday.

Glow in The Dark

Fabulous turnout last night at The glow run/walk. We were joined by fellow runners and walkers from Ormsary jogscotland, Islay jogscotland, Mid Argyll jogscotland and members of the local community. All routes were slightly soggy underfoot but the skies were clear and enthusiasm strong. Whilst the runners circumnavigated the Royal Burgh the walkers did a fantastic job on their two mile walk raising spirits and collecting donations for THe Mid Argyll Chemotherapy Unit. I am so grateful to everyone who helped from the participants with their monetary and culinary donations  (if you ask for cake in Argyll...you get cake!!) to the leaders, sweepers and those who stayed behind to ready the soup and cakes. Special thanks to Jacs and Inveraray primary for allowing us the use of the school dining hall and kitchen. See you all Next Year!!
