    I'm not referring to a bout of Mon to Thurs diarrhoea:(. I was just wondering if anyone had ever tried organising a MINI run on a Wednesday (or any other mid-week day)?

    Our Heart Of The Borders run is scheduled for September 4th, but we fancy organising a wee run before then, preferably mid-week.

    But we don't want to organise anything if we're the only one's interested.

    No dates in mind, a vague idea of a trip to Holy Island - tides permitting:), and really just checking for interest.

    Mid-week run in late June/early July anyone?

    Nice idea but, is it through the day or a wee blast after work, for me, i could only manage after work and think that may be a potential problem you might face to get large numbers
    Add to that the time it takes to get to the run and do the run as well
    Not meaning to put a dampner on it, however, if it's through the day then you're ok providing you can get the numbers you want

    I it ends up being us and a half-dozen others I'd be delighted.

    Over summer our days off are Wed, Thur & Fri with loads of hours cramed into the other 4 days.
