the problem with ceilidhs is that I tend to overdo it in an evenng and then I'm knackered and aching for days and then don't do it again for weeks and tehn go through the same process. So starting the running should improve my stamina and help me to enjoy the ceilidhs more. the other annoying thing about the Stirling ceilidhs is that they only run in July & August and I haven't found a ceilidh session in Perth.
