Note: This blog was written differently, posted and deleted earlier in the week as I wasn't comfortable with it. Running wise the weekend was brilliant. It started off on Friday night with one of my favourite events of the year, the Scottish Indoor 3000m at the Emirates at the GAA BMC Miler meet. This one … Continue reading Living for the weekend – Includes Scottish Indoor 3000m champs 2020

A different Bob/ The Kick inside of me – BMC GAA Miler meet and CSSAL 3000m

Why do I pick these targets that are so … Continue reading A different Bob/ The Kick inside of me – BMC GAA Miler meet and CSSAL 3000m
Something for the Weekend – Scottish 5k and LAAA 3000m OGM

Winter – from parkrunning to the Scottish indoor 3000m and an unexpected result.
It really has been a while since my last blog, and it's been a mixture of not really having much to say and just being disenchanted by the whole expressing myself malarkey.

Karma Police – 3000m open graded and Vale of Leven 10k 2017
Disclaimer: I know that I am a contrary beast. I know I am a huffy, tantrum throwing wean. And I know that my “athletic endeavours” are not even average in the grand scheme of things. But it means a lot to me. So I reserve the right to continue to be annoying 🙂 It's been … Continue reading Karma Police – 3000m open graded and Vale of Leven 10k 2017
