The picture at the side is not representative of the pain of running, its Liz at this years World XC Championships in Edinburgh where she finished in a very respectable position. This was part of her preparation for London Marathon and subsequently confirming her place in the GBR team for Bejing 2008. Well done Liz, a fantastic bit of support came from the Edinburgh Crowd.
