Build – Including cake, Blackpool prom and Strathclyde parkrun 378
The last wee blog had me running through the trees unscathed, but the real question was going to be whether I could sustain that. But before that, remember this wee blog is nominated for the running awards. If you felt you would like to vote it’s under publications and online/ blog. markgallmac – the most irritating … Continue reading Build – Including cake, Blackpool prom and Strathclyde parkrun 378
Through the trees – That first run in a while.
This is a short one today you'll be glad to know. Three weeks since my last run. An operation on my nose and breathing that doesn't seem at this moment in time to have worked.

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
