BUPA 10k Great Caledonia Run in Edinburgh on 8 May 2005 and amongst the thousands of runners will be Nicola, Karen A and my friend Tom. I had no idea that Tom was running in it - he's kept it under his hat for a while - but now his secret is out!
Well, good luck to you all. With your microchip attachment, you will be tracked around the course and your stage times logged for all to see. Talking of which, the course was announced and I have to say how glad I am that I won't be doing it. They haven't been overly kind to the lay-competitors who may look forward to the odd gradual climb, but as Edinburgh is built on 7 hills, they haven't missed the chance to make the runners go up at least that many :-))
Thanks to Tom as well for passing on a great little website. A kind of Java-boosted Mappy, Map24 UK is a great map site which has some great little features. Like Tom, I love the stratospheric, freefall-type quick zoom-in to your selected destination, as well as the ability to measure distances by drawing directly onto the map - great for all the 10k running training and certainly beats the string and A-Z option currently used in this household.
