The usual disclaimer: Running, like many sports, is all relative. What is a good run to me can be a bad run to others and vice versa. This is my blog and these my views. Cheers blogpeeps. After a week where I couldn't even put weight on my right leg due to back pain let … Continue reading On the Road – a personal review of 2015

The end of part 1 and Strathclyde park run 261

The most ill … Continue reading “You relay got me” or “there’s no place like gnome”

What can I do in my running to shake things up, and who does it affect? … Continue reading Self assessment, being inspired and being me.
History Part 7 – The jogscotland weeble

It's a community running thing. It helps a lot of people. It helped me a lot but I won't pretend I loved … Continue reading History Part 7 – The jogscotland weeble
