Silverknowes Self Transcendence 5k 4/06/08
Many thanks to Coach Gordon who didn't run but did a splendid job taking photos. So good in fact I am not going to bother putting (m)any words with them. If you ran it you know how painful it was, but at least there was only a light wind and the evening was very pretty (once you (I) stopped gasping and crying.) Getting a pen, a pair of running socks, a bottle of water and a chocolate for the £4 entry fee surely represents a profit. Worth turning up for without even doing the run. In fact that might have been a better idea. The place was awash with Porty vests - and great to see a few new faces in them. Special mention to Mel for an individual prize and with Shelagh and Kath, the Ladies Team Prize.
Gerry leads the team from early on.

Results here, Running & Becoming future events etc here"Running offers us the message of transcendence. In our running, every day we are aiming at a new goal....every day we are running towards a goal, but when we reach that goal, we want to go still farther. Either we want to improve our timing or increase our distance. There is no end. Running means continual transcendence, and that is also the message of our inner life".
