Congratulations to Rab Murray who was 2nd Vet, 5th overall at yesterday's Peterhead 10k in a time of 39:04
Rab said: 'I beat all the Fraserbugh folk bar one , the whole lot , and there were swarms of them! I think the whole club turned out - but all they could see was a Garioch running vest in front of them!'

Good on ya Rab!

=============

Congratulation's also to GRR's Reben Hunt who ran in the Lonach Gathering Hill race at the weekend in a time of 32:39.
Reuben tells me that Billy Conolly wasnt the only comedian in attendance, as the shambolic race organisation indicated that the organisers were a having a laugh too, with 'optional' extra laps at the end of the race...

Well done Reuben, nonetheless!

You Might be a Runner if (3+ required)-

If you know how many miles are in 10 kilometers... then you might be a runner.

If you celebrate your 50th birthday by running 50 miles and then go to a party in your honor... then you might be a runner.

If your best ten mile time is lower than your age and your resting heart rate is lower than your best ten mile time... then you might be a runner.

If you run a race in Lochaber in April, Beauly in June, and Aviemore in October... then you just might be a runner.

If you have any surgical scars from the hips on down and you have never birthed a child... then you might be a runner.

If you can say "fartlek" without getting embarrassed... then you might be a runner.

If the bumper sticker on your car says "My other car is a pair of Nikes"... then you might be a runner.

If you have to rent extra storage space in order to house your T-shirt collection... than you might be a runner.

Aviemore
Accomodation

Steve asked if we could get an idea of who is all going to the Aviemore half in October, so that we can start organising accomodation.
Can anyone going drop me an email (bruce@axoninstruments.com), indicating if you need accomodation with the GRR group, and if your preference is Sat night only / Sat+Sun night / Sun night only.
We will need to get our skates on for booking accomodation if we are all going as a group...
