Mairi and I at the Coffee Afternoon, manning the door and manic raffle
I've also had some good runs this week alongside some of my marathon buddies, friends and club runners - it's great to chat, it really does make the time go past so much quicker and make your run more enjoyable. I loved my trail run up Bengullion and desperate to do some more now.
My new trail shoes didn't stand a chance up Bengullion
For those who have been asking me about sponsoring me for the marathon and Great Wall of China Trek, I've finally got round to creating a Just Giving Page: www.justgiving.com/elainemcg All proceeds to the Beatson West of Scotland Cancer Centre. A charity very close to my heart. They look after so many people getting treated for cancer. Some of them having to travel from Campbeltown (and all over) to be away from home whilst getting essential treatment and their extra special care makes that horrible time a little bit more bearable for them.
