A big hello to you all from Edinburgh HQ!
Wanted to give a quick update on what has been happening in the last week or so.
1. The charity gig evening (Friday 5th Feb at Maggies Chamber above the Three Sisters in Edinburgh) is looking like being a fantastic evening with wonderful prizes on offer, so you better buy a few raffle tickets on the night! £1.50 each. Also a compilation CD will be on sale with 3 tracks from each of the 4 bands playing on the night for £5, bargain! Entry £6, contact mark@runwithmark.com for tickets.
2. As for my training, it is now fully back on track after the freeze and now it is time to get the head down and hammer it on this home straight.
