The Jogscotland String

[fiona28]

i havent talked to davie p but am forging on ahead on my own, so if this works it will be a wonder

welcome to the jogscotland thread which is going to be called the string cos i get my words mixed up and thot thats what it should be called

all you jogscotlanders please feel free to use this string in any way you want i hope you find it useful.

dont be shy no reading and not participating

[SmithD]

Can you tell me more about Jog Scotland? Total novice at running, but would like to star for next years 10k!

[Jock Strap]

Yes, me too please - when you meet, where, times and do you have males?

[abbey craig]

I once ran fae the commercial tae the golden ocean Fiona.

Do you think i`d manage the 10k

[iceblue]

Enjoyed yesterday morning's jogscotland run up Westport Beach at a nice easy pace, and the sea breezes kept me cool

[fiona28]

it was just beautiful iceblue, just a shame we hadnt got longer and could have went further. think we should do same next week if weather keeps up and then we can go a wee bit further if we r organised. will need to wait n see.

what more could you ask for than some good company and a beautiful beach to go jogging arent we lucky

[iceblue]

We are lucky Fiona28, most people don't have the opportunity to run on the beach on such a hot sunny day and the company certainly makes the time pass really quickly!

[fiona28]

abbeycraig you'd manage fine - anyone can do jogscotland but youd have to go before your run to the golden ocean

jochstrap and smithd ill get an uptodate list of times etc once i have had a team meeting with jogleaders. officially this is the last week of our first 10 week block

[SmithD]

Great, feeling quite motivated for it!

Got too keep up with my mum!! But don't think I'm quite half marathon material yet!

[fiona28]

thats excellent smithd, we already have 5 men reg with jogscotland and once 4th gen gets his form in that gives us 6.

the leaders are all women at the moment but thats soon to change - right 4th

[Sport]

Great idea Fiona - keep up the good work!

[fiona28]

im sure you'd love to join us as well sport - dont be shy now, 4th can give u tips on how to be cool

[Pans Lass]

Jog scotland string.... good one fiona28

Looking forward to getting back on track after my few days off...really missed my training day on Saturday ..sad when you would rather be there than on holiday.

As a new member of jog scotland I cannot praise the leaders and the team enough and I encourage anyone to join not only for the support and training tips but for the team spirit that goes along with it . It's fun too.

[fiona28]

hi out there all you beginners who ran your first time trial tonight - well done to you all - even if you all went faster than i had told you to a bunch of competitors if i ever saw them.

our first 1 mile time trial gave us results between 10:12mins and 13:30mins which is abs excellent for some girls in their first and second weeks - big effort from all - thanks for playing the game

hoping all will enter for the 10k in glasgow on 2 sept 07.

a good weekend out without alcohol

iceblue you havent been on to let us know how you went in the 10k and we're all bursting to find out so give us a shout

anyone with any points taken from tonight feel free to post and well done to you all

[Ags]

We know you are mental (your training comment) and we know you are the boss but if there is no alcohol - at least on the Friday night WE ARE NOT GOING!!! (Think I can speak for the rest of the gang on that one ). Only kidding - was good to get the times tonight and looking forward to Tuesday to see what's next. Think some of these beginners doing lots of secret practice though but well done!!
