Healthy Working Lives Jogscotland 5km Challenges. Tuesday 29 June 2010.

A great ERN turnout (32 - our best ever!) for this annual Edinburgh event which is now into its eight year, and once again the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh kindly agreed to run the route through the gardens (this is not normally allowed!) - the start and finish were located in Inverleith Park. An excellent evening run with a number of ERNs subsequently retiring to Pizza Express for a well deserved supper and a blether (thanks to Jo Parry for arranging). There were 2 starting times; 6.00pm for run 1 (652 runners) and 7.30pm for run 2 (669 runners).

Fi said: "A brilliant night, course slightly different I think? but still great value & a fab atmosphere. Still bloody hard at bits-even with the park-specific training I get my group to do. Must work on those fast twitch muscles soon!"
