Our Race for Life debut started in June 2003. The 4 Musketeers duly started to do a bit of training less than 6 weeks before the race. It was hard - very hard going, but we did it and survived, raising money for a really good cause. The four Muskateers - left to right - Julie, Kath, Gill and Fiona |

The SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND workers and volunteers decided to have a big fund-raising walk/run Family fun day on the new dual carriageway – the A1, which runs between Haddington and Dunbar, prior to it being open to traffic. For those of you who live ‘down south’ YES, it is the same A1, which goes all the way to London. Giving directions to friends from London coming to visit us is a doddle! Three of us decided to dress up and run the 12KM race. There was a really good turnout and, although the weather was a bit damp and chilly, the atmosphere amongst everyone was excellent. Fun, and a bit of pain, for a good cause. Left to right : - Julie, Graeme and Kath |
Here we go again! Race for Life time again! Only 2 of the original 4 Musketeers were able to run. We are now called The Santa Fe Tarts (don’t ask me to explain that one!) Julie and myself beat our previous year’s times and both found it a bit easier going. However, that hill up Arthur’s Seat at the beginning – no – in fact, it lasts for over half the race is shall we say, still a nightmare? Left Julie and Kath on the right |

We’re getting old hands at this now! Glutens for punishment! This time 3 of the original Santa Fe Tarts (Julie, Gill and myself) were there, but we had the addition of Vanessa and Rachel. The weather was not kind this year as it was very cold and wet. However, everyone put on a brave wet face and off we went! We all made it ‘round in good time. Congrats to the ‘youngsters Vanessa and Rachel, who had put in very little or no practice and both finished in good time. Puts us ‘oldies’ to shame! |
Sadly this year due to a nasty ankle injury I was unable to run in the Race
for Life! 
Boo
hoo!
However, I did sponsor a couple of other ladies who were entering the race so didn't feel quite so bad!
Hopefully I'll be back on form next year! 
Unfortunately, I'm still not back on form but getting there.
I've been advised not to run any races this year . Boo! Definitely see you next year!
