I'm a loser and I'm good with it 🙂 where I say yesterday it's now last weekend, but you get that. It's yesterday … Continue reading Two thousand and seventeen – a brand new lesson
I travel – London wk 4 incl. Livingston parkrun 58
Took Monday off as the knees were still tender after Sunday's fall, so this wasn't going to be a complete week either.

Just over … Continue reading I travel – London wk 4 incl. Livingston parkrun 58

Warning: end of year review. Egotistical and self congratulatory stuff within. Why not take a wee look at your year and have a smile too 🙂 So the training I’m doing just now is just trying to build a base for my marathon training starting on 2nd January.

Little by Little – The Clydebank 10k 2016
Dreich. Windy. Wet. Pouring. Now I know it's not words that you would normally associate with the wondrous place that is Clydebank, but after last week's Heat Hell in Helensburgh a Cloudburst Carnival in Clydebank was lying in wait. The M8 was crazy, crashes everywhere as the rain lashed down but got there in good … Continue reading Little by Little – The Clydebank 10k 2016
