Runs / Ladies

Women's Runs in 2012

Join in the fortnightly women's runs round Edinburgh and the surrounding countryside. Most is off-road, away from the traffic. Meet on alternate Mondays (venues below) for a social run of about an hour. In the lighter evenings, after the clocks move forward, we usually leave the trails of Edinburgh and head for the surrounding countryside. Sometimes it's useful to have a head torch on the 'winter' dates.
All enquiries please contact Joanne Thin or on 07527187619



Women's Runs for 2012
Meet 6.45pm for 7 pm at the named host's house as listed below. If you do not know where that is, please contact Joanne Thin, above.
(In the past we have sometimes changed to 6.30 pm for winter. If the majority prefer that we can switch)
Soup or other sustenance will be provided after.

30th Jan Senga Bate - Bruntsfield (N.B. note change of venue)
13th Feb Mandy Calder - Stockbridge
27th Feb Karin Ewing - Braids
12th Mar Lucy Murdoch - Dalmeny
26th Mar (clocks go forward on the 25th) Anne Nimmo - Cardrona, nr. Peebles

Thanks to volunteers for hosting runs. Ladies run volunteers please if your plans change and you cannot host at the time can you aim to try and find someone else as substitute host and e-mail the new venue to the ladies in good time (cc me of course and contact me if any problem). Much appreciated.
Joanne




 
The Widows Might
by Bill Gauld
 
 

The Widows might; you never know!
Perhaps they'd love to have a go.
Perhaps they secretly aspire
To tripping lightly in the mire;
To donning multi-studded shoes;
To winning lots of bottled booze.
No stopping when they run up bills,
Perhaps they'll do the same on hills.
And even if there's wind and rain,
They still might run and won't complain .

The Widow's might - a strength unknown
Of character, about the home.
One word from her, the kids calm down;
One little smile dispels your frown;
"Your running shoes are by the fire,
Your vest is in the tumble drier."
She'd be an asset at a race,
Keeping officialdom in place,
And making runners follow rules
Like carrying waterproof cagoules.

The Widow's mite - no coin in box,
But given-in-kind by darning socks,
And washing mud-bespattered clothes,
Both tasks which any runner loathes.
And when he hosts committee meetings
She welcomes all with pleasant greetings,
Prepares the tea behind the scenes
And hardly ever intervenes
To say "how late" or "how time flies",
Instead she brings in more mince pies.

Perhaps we shouldn't change her ways,
But lavish on her gentle praise
In case arriving home for tea
This little note is all we see:
"Your dirty clothes are on the floor,
Right where you left them by the door.
You'll find food in the supermarket.
Take the car - there's room to park it."
And if you find this all quite stunning,

"Don't worry dear, I've gone out running!"

 

Bill Gauld, is an honorary lady for our Monday sojourns. He celebrated his 78th recently. In appreciation of the yummy cake and the camaraderie on Ladies night, he penned this thank you.

  To all you girls with smiling eyes,
Who once a fortnight cheer me,
I wish that I was half my age,
And you were always near me.
