ISLAND GROUP ARE ENCOURAGED BY GREAT NUMBERS

28th April 2009

Here at jogscotland we love to hear how our Jog Scotties are getting on the length and breadth of the country and it is also great to hear how well our brand new jogscotland groups are going.

The jogscotland group on the Isle of Islay in Port Ellen are bursting with energy and enthusiasm for jogscotland. Each week sees the group attract another brand new person with numbers sitting roughly around ten at the moment.

At least three of the joggers are taking part in the ‘Run For Life’ event and a couple of the women, Clare and Caroline are building their confidence with a view to possibly entering the Islay Half Marathon. 

In due course it is hoped that the shy men of the Island might even get involved.

Lastly, a big shout out for the three winners of the outstanding courage awards:

Mairi for picking herself up after slightly over doing things, Frances for having a go at jogging for the first time in yonks and Clare for the most dramatic change in lifestyle. 

We here at jogscotland would also like to give a big round of applause to Jog Leader Jim, who has achieved so much in such a short amount of time, well done Jim!
