So how are the Bowie at Breakfast team getting on with the training for the Great Scottish Run?

Des - surprise, surprise...Des is still making sure that he doesn't exhuast himself by doing too much. He has walked briskly from the sofa to the fridge on a couple of occassions but that was about it. He claims that he won't be able to go running next week either because he is giving blood. This is now turning into an idiot's guide to "Great Excuses for Not Running".

Dr Prockter - She's never going to be first to the line on a sprint finish but slow but steady is fine. She's been out pounding the streets and at a very relaxing pace. She's managing 2 or 3 times a week with 2 or 3 times a week at the gym.

Bowie - He has the big boxing match against Tommy Sheridan in a couple of weeks so is really trying to improve his cardiovascular fitness. Although he has been wondering what to do about the fact he can hardly breathe sometimes because of the hayfever! However, he is committed to the task and has even been setting his alarm for 3.45 so he can get a 4 mile run in before the breakfast show in the morning.
