Anyone for Hairy Haggis?

[Fionamags]

That is, the Hairy Haggis Team Relay during the Edinburgh Marathon. A bunch of work colleagues signed up for this 2 years ago and lockdown put paid to it. So this is it now - 29th May! I'm doing the 5.5 mile leg (just under 9k).

I've not been on the forum for a while but have been running intermittently. Today I did 8k at a pace that will keep me ahead of the sweeper vehicle - so that's a bonus. 🤭☺

Having a target definitely helps motivate me, so I'm going to have to set my sights on something else after this. Maybe a 10k event to focus on improving my time? I'm probably a bit too slow to make the cut off for events at the moment.

Anyway, its good to be back. I'll start catching up with all ur adventures again too. Happy running all!

I'm glad to hear that you've still been running, and I love the sound of the Hairy Haggis Relay 🤣 I'm pretty sure we'll need pictures of that 😄

Heh heh I will NOT be running in costume!

That sounds like it will be great fun and motivation to keep finding new challenges☺️

Sounds fun. Hope you have a good haggis race. Good to see you back.

Thanks. I'll be doing it on 2 legs rather than 3 though. 😉

Nice to see you back and to hear you're still at it!

[Fionamags Graduate10 in reply to Roxdog]

Thanks. I'll be aiming for consistency in both running and the forum. Happy retirement by the way!
