    Maz I did spend a year up in Aberdeenshire in 2001, I lived in Peterhead. Originally I'm an Ayrshire girl.


    Ayrshire is lovely, well bits of it are, i have friends in Kilmarnock, which is not so nice!!

    Peterhead, did you like it?

    I'm south of Aberdeen... almost tayside really...

    Would you get work if you moved back home?
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Amazing isn't it, I don't think I run that fast doing a couple of miles, never mind 26! :eek:

    they were amazing, however did you see the front runners baby tum!? how reassuring!!

    Plus that 5:30-6:00 pace was probably not their fastest really, slowed pace for extra distance.....

    speaking of speedy! did you see beckys time!!! 4and a half hours! wowsers! she's gone from 0-60 in less than a year... she is a born runner, no wonder rich loves her, they are 2 sides of the same coin! spooky!!

    Peterhead was scary :eek:
    I live about 22 miles from Kilmarnock :eek:

    I should be able to get work if I moved back in with mum and dad. I am a part qualified accountant, so should be ok.

    I know I thought that of the baby tum...nothing gets rid of the loose skin for some people!

    Yes Becky did a great time and she would have been quicker if cooler no doubt about that. Nearly all the people I saw or talked to from the masses said they ran 30 mins slower than expected, which works out about right as I had planned a 4:45 but was 5:15. The heat truely was a killer and I have a sunburnt leg.

    I'm very tired and hungry which isn't helping. Might leave them for a bit or my accountant won't be happy.:D

    On the downside of SIL, my laptop no longer lets me on the laptop which is frustrating as I don't want to be tied to the desk at home when I want to chat! Need to search for the router code tonight in the hope that other SIL can sort it out.
