Expecting a biting cold & dull day, it was with some trepidation that I opened the curtains on Sunday. However, it was gorgeously sunny, fairly still and much milder than anticipated, which was a good omen for the day to come.So, with a mounting sense of excitement I strapped my rucksack on my back and stuck out to trot to Holyrood Park to take part in my first 10k of the year in the company of 10,000 others.

Edinburgh AC had a fantastic day out at the National 4K Cross Country Championships held in Bellahouston Park on Sunday 31st January. On a chilly, though stunningly sunny January day we were triumphant with Womens Team Gold, Womens Individual Silver & Mens Team Silver medals, with great performances from everyone involved.
