Heading off on holiday tomorrow, so good luck guys. And congrats to Bernie on giving up the fags. That's better than winning any marathon.

I'll probably be on the Prom Sunday watching the runners go by - will keep a watch out for Bernie too. I did try to do a bit of running with pram in front!

Hey, that's all the rage with young trendy mums in the Sciennes area. I often see a group of them jogging through the Meadows. Only a matter of time before someone starts a group in Porty. Take a look at this serious piece of kit:

I think what I have seen is probably this:



No class as yet on the Promenade but it would make a good venue. You could start your own class for post-natal dads, wangi?

Well done Wangi. I bet you're glad that's over ....for another year

For those intending to watch the Marathon runners tomorrow, it is worth mentioning that the elite runners will set off at 9.50 rather than 10.00, so the lead runners will arrive that wee bit earlier on the Prom this year.

The Half Marathon sets off at 8.00 am.

We had Taiko drummers encouraging the runners from the bandstand

Our pink balloons - someone pilfered them later on while we came back for a look stop. Drummers were amazing. Runners were amazing.
