Hi Uni, nice to see you. Glad you're feeling stronger again now. That's an amazing amount of mileage that you do. :)

We did some good spotting again today. There were some rangers there who helped us out a bit too. ;-)

Evening all. I now owe you two blogs on Sept and Oct virtual races, I will try and do them tomorrow possibly lunchtime, and frankly possibly on work time, I don't even care any more! I had a horrible afternoon at work, a very horrible customer upset me and my colleague, made us both upset and angry. Hate hate hate my job :-(. Anyway, it's nearly the weekend. Two days of the week don't suck so that's good right?!

Nutso Lazytoad!
Waves at everyone 😊 Sorry been a bit mia work is a bit all consuming at the mo. I only have a week and a bit before my hols so what with the job change and that it's proving a little busy! I have the Leeds 10K this weekend so resting the leggies and will report back post race.

L10 sorry to hear about your nasty flipping customer I hope you silently swore and did your best yes sir no sir in a condescending manner! I think they owe you half hour down time, we are all owed it now and then. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

No word of the new job yet L10?

Good luck for your 10k Nutso. Brodie 10k on Sunday for me, MrDQ and LG. Hoping the weather stays fine for us.

Race calander filling up nicely for 2017. We finally have a major race up here with the inaugural Aberdeen Great Run in August. Any SAPs fancy it?

It's two weeks since my meeting to discuss the new job, still waiting to hear from head office if I can move. The managers of the job want me for it, just need the blessing of those higher up the food chain. I just wait and hope, there is naff all else to apply for round here! I need to get out, I have no interest in running after a day at work, and I dread going in. I really want to do lots of events next year, so I need to be getting a good training base in now. Work is really hampering my running and that's not good!

It's not good at all! Nothing worse than dreading going into work. Hopefully it won't be much longer till you get the good news.

Lem, it's a shame that work's still stringing you along, any way you can hurry them up? Get yourself signed off with stress, despite your other problems. :(

Nut, hope your new job's panning out okay. Where are you off to for your hols?
DQ, I'd love to come to Aberdeen to meet you all but I see that your Great Run is a half.

Sorry, still no race roundup. Abysmal day at work. I would blog it but I'll get worked up and have another sleepless teary night. One more day to get through. Speaking of days to get through, sending my love to Womble today xx
