cant make up my mind which to do, really enjoyed the company of the 10k this year, its such a long hard half!!! but if i want to do a marathon in september....oooooo what to do!!!!!

Will be doing the kintyre way on first so gives plenty recovery time this year, so should really do half, but really want to do 10k, will leave it another wee while and think about it some more

[DJD]

That's me in for the half and now that there is a good gap between this race and the Kintyre Way Relay,l should do at least hit my last years time.

Always look forward to this race,for many a reason.
