Yesterday saw me complete the Great Scottish Run - the half marathon with the nastiest start of all time.  Whoever chose the route that begins with the St Vincent St Hill needs their heads checked! 

Despite that, and the murderous on-ramp to the Kingston Bridge (what a view from up there by the way) and having stretched my right calf muscle, I completed the event.  I fell just short of my hoped for time, with that muscle problem restricting me for the final few miles when I could have been running faster.  That said, a lot more training needed before I do the big one again!  My official time is yet to come through, but somewhere in the region of 3hours (I think just under) is the ball park figure.

The funds total will go up by a wee amount shortly as the new sales get added and would go even higher if the guy who bought the Chris Hoy top would bother to pay for it or email me back.  I was extremely excited when that sale went through, but there are only so many excuses and failures to reply you can take before you know its not going to happen so thanks to you for nothing 'cyclediet'!

I'm away to nurse my aches from yesterday and get some more stuff up for sale, then hobble to the post office.
