Like 15,000 others I joined in (for about the 8th time) the Great Scottish Run in Glasgow on Sunday and loved every minute (what a lie). It was a hilly course, my hip has been sore again (excuses thick and fast) and no Personal Best's were set for me but I was pleased with my time of 1.44 and my husband Stuart's amazing time of 1.19 coming in 83rd!! The rest of our running club members did brilliantly too.

However, the most amazing thing was just seeing so many people out there running and supporting the race! Particularly so many running for charity and raising funds for a variety of worthwhile causes. It really is very admirable and shows how Scottish people have such kind hearts! I met up with the Beatson gang after the race who were so kind to give me some water, bananas and some banners to display on 'the wall'.

OK, so now it's time for the Great Wall of
China! Bring it on!
