Porty Six – Portobello

Tracy said: “As I first left the house this morning I wondered how many ERN members would be brave enough to turn up today in this horribly rainy and windy weather. It was therefore a delight to see so many familiar faces, especially after I’d missed several runs over the past few weeks due to a stinking cold.  In attendance were Fi, Krista, Ellie, Heather, Gillian, Aicha, Steven, Andrew and myself, so a very good turnout indeed! The route was very well chosen for a day like today, as it seemed quite sheltered in most areas, a welcome respite from the winds that greeted us for the finish along Porty prom. Thankfully we all had Fi’s promise of delicious homemade banana cake and some hot drinks at the cafe to look forward to at the finish. One of the great things about these group runs is that they get me out in weather I would otherwise avoid if running on my own. Getting out of my cosy bed and getting there is the challenge, because once out there, it’s always a great run with great banter.”
