Scottish 10km

Dave and Lisa Allan travelled up to East Lothian for the Scottish 10km. Both have had injuries word to deal with in in recent weeks but that doesn’t stop these two.

Dave ran an impressive time, running under 40 mins, not bad for a man with a broken toe and shoes that are too small! 

Lisa also ran well along the sunny and warm costal route which takes runners past Musselbrough Golf Course.
