What’s another year? A Eurovision winner by Irish crooner Johnny Logan apparently but I have no idea what it goes like and it’s not going to darken the playlist. Some things would just be a stretch too far, you know? Bad writer, poor runner, but good playlist. Anyway, this is only my second blog post … Continue reading What’s another year/ One More Time

Wait in the dark – running for all?
I have not trained with my club since November because I live in North Lanarkshire but my club is in South Lanarkshire. I actually work in South Lanarkshire so spend more time there than I do in the North but that is irrelevant, I am still not allowed to go to my club. It’s been … Continue reading Wait in the dark – running for all?

The only quandary was do I keep running hard or stop and take a pic? I picked the wrong one and kept running but thankfully others took some pics and … Continue reading Commercial Alternative – TrailFest Scotland Solstice Trail Series race 1 – 7k
The windmills of your mind
It's not often that I am stuck for words but I have been humbled by the response to my last wee piece on my brother Robert Another Girl Another Planet. I know that this is supposed to be a running blog, but primarily it's my blog, and I was worried about the possible reaction to … Continue reading The windmills of your mind
Older and very occasionally wiser.
Firstly talking of older runners all the best to John Quinn, who is older than me and had an op yesterday that will make him stronger and faster, all the best fella. I read something on my lunch break today. The author was about the same age as me and said, amongst other things for … Continue reading Older and very occasionally wiser.
