Sometimes it can be entertaining to write your thoughts straight after a race but sometimes you can be glad you waited. I know I've been the most irritating runner in Scotland for a while now, but I would have probably hit a new level. The most irritatingtaterest of all, but it's what I am, so … Continue reading Think for a minute – Scottish Athletics Masters track and field champs 2022

What time is love? – The National Open indoor 1500m 2020
Despite the fact that Father time (I can't call him Old Father Time anymore) is driving me at full pelt towards 50 town let it never be said that I am too old to learn. Maybe that's just a kind way of saying I made another boo boo, but no I think maybe to be … Continue reading What time is love? – The National Open indoor 1500m 2020
Hi Hello – Race for Life, 1500m Livi and Shettleston 10k
It’s been a wee while since my last blog because I simply haven’t felt like doing one. Isn’t that terrible?But it's lunchtime and I'm bored.

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
Demons -the Haddington Half marathon and Wishaw OGM
As I said in my last blog, the next plan was to revisit Haddington Half to try and finish it on my feet this year, rather than last year's chauffeur driven jaunt in an ambulance. I was disappointed by the lack of nee naw to be fair. Before that particular branch of demons I had … Continue reading Demons -the Haddington Half marathon and Wishaw OGM
