Disclaimer: The mellow Marko of late is replaced today by the older irritating one. This is an honest account of how I feel after this week’s racing and I know many of you won’t get where I am trying to come from, as although I write, and a lot, I can’t always adequately put down … Continue reading Flathead – the Drumpellier 5k 2018

What’s the frequency Kenneth – Strathclyde parkrun 395
I believe there is a book and a film called “Let’s talk about Kevin.” I have never seen it or fancied watching it, but then I am originally from Paisley and now live in Lanarkshire, so pretty much I am to culture what Ed Sheeran is to inconspicuousness. I doubt it is on the same … Continue reading What’s the frequency Kenneth – Strathclyde parkrun 395
Merry Xmas (everyone) – Jogscotland Christmas Cracker and Santa Dash
Disclaimer: We may find out Santa’s real identity here and he may be irritating, grumpy and bald. For those of you worried by my lack of moaning recently then continue to be upset, worried, and even put off by my blog. I had another couple of weeks where I enjoyed my running. The parkrun renaissance … Continue reading Merry Xmas (everyone) – Jogscotland Christmas Cracker and Santa Dash

Standing next to me/ Mental – Livi 1500 and part parkrun
Disclaimer: No blog posts, tweets, Facebook posts for ages. I know. It's been a rough running time. A lot doesn't make sense. I have no rhyme reason or logic. But all I can do is explain how I am at a certain point in time. Many of you won't in a million years get how what … Continue reading Standing next to me/ Mental – Livi 1500 and part parkrun
Everybody needs a holiday – feat Linwood 1500m and Strathclyde parkrun 361
Disclaimer: I am a sham amongst bloggers. Two races this week and not a single race pic. Or warm up pic. Or even arm round other runners pre race. Must try harder. Real bloggers think ahead. Still winging it 🙂 So I had planned a couple of races prior to going off on holiday. Couple … Continue reading Everybody needs a holiday – feat Linwood 1500m and Strathclyde parkrun 361
