Here come the girls...
I am looking forward to spending Sunday morning with fourteen thousand women. My job will be to motivate them, inspire them, soothe them and come up with the answer to their troubles. 'Some Guys Have All The Luck' is the song that maybe springs to mind.
It's the Glasgow Women's 10k this weekend and taking part for the first time are the women of ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Scotland's music department.
Between them they are the engine room of Travelling Folk, Classics Unwrapped, Global Gathering, The Jazz House and Get It On. In the old days P.A. used to stand for 'Production Assistant' now it stands for 'Proper Athlete'!
All us blokes in the department are incredibly proud of our team. Most of them have never done anything like this in their lives and they have thrown themselves into the training. Come rain or shine they have been pounding the streets around the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ of a lunchtime. They deserve to have a great run on Sunday.Not only that but they were up at the crack of dawn this morning making cakes which they sold in the office today to raise money for their charities they are running for. As serious athletes they made do with an energy bar and sports drink but the rest of us scoffed ourselves silly - and some of us still scoffing during the 7 0 clock news!
Lots of good upbeat tunes been suggested tonight but I love this email that's just come in from Gordon Buchan: "Given my wife's attitude to exercise in general, her suggestion for tonight was Joe le Taxi by Vanessa Paradis, but I would have to go with There Is A Bed by Marc Almond."
