I’ve arrived in Gretna Green today only a day later than planned, as yesterday I tried to go for my Friday run only to discover as I left the house, there was black ice everywhere and definitely not worth the risk of an accident, today was warmer and the drizzle at the start soon ebbed away for me to complete my 10k. Looking forward to completing the next 8 miles this week to see me at 500 miles - I’m now off the learn the correct Proclaimers lyrics and not the ones I normally make up!
LEJOG04 crossed the border today🏴 - Bridge to 10K
LEJOG04 crossed the border today🏴
Welcome to Scotland, you'll definitely have ear worms if you start singing that but it will get you through the run quickly 🤣 happy running 🤗
Ha ha thank you , my family have already started sending me Gif’s of them and tartan face masks as well!
Remember its burns night soon so you'll be expected to run in your kilt and have some crummy haggis washed down with a wee dram
The wee dram sounds good have to be honest not sure about the crummy haggis! - I’ll give it ago 🤪
Oops scrummy, auto correct took over there. If you like black pudding it's even better, especially with a drag or 2 on a cold frosty night. Must admit we often pop a haggis in the shopping trolley, it's a feel good food
I also welcome you to Scotland Over62, what Grannyhugs says is absolutely correct, you could also learn to say a few times is
"It's a braw bricht moonlit nicht the nicht" which means in English, it is a bright moonlight night tonight.
Yay Over62! On the (rather long) home stretch now. It’s fun isn’t it? Keep running, and see you in JOG! 🥰👏
Fabulous! Say hi to Scotland for me (I’m a fan)! 👍🏽🏴🏃🏾♀️
Crossing the border, eh? Be sure to check the local regulations. 😉
Welcome to Scotland, dont let the weather put you off. Safe journey to JOG. ❄⛈☂️.
Welcome to Scotland! Crossing the Border is a bit of a landmark. Well done!!!
Congratulations - great progress. Such familiar names there - I grew up not far away. You’ll soon pass Ecclefechan (blink and you’ll miss it). My kids were always amused by the name as we passed it on the motorway and threatened to use it as their new swear word!! 😆
I’ll look out for that - love the name, could be my new word too!
Well done Over62 and welcome to Scotland. Have you been singing 🤣👏👏
Yes it’s me causing all the rain 🌧
Here’s another funny thing I went for a short walk this afternoon which turned out to be a longer walk due to flooding and when I arrived home and entered the mileage in LEJOG04 I’m now at 499.80 miles 🤣🤣 no worries it’ll all move on with my run 🏃🏻♀️ tomorrow.
