I wasn't even going to bother blogging about these as hardly anyone reads these things anymore anyway but things change all the time. This one is for my old noggin so I can look back at it. You can plan your life away but things always happen to change your plans and all you can … Continue reading Beauty #2/ Where’s your head at? – SVHC Clydebank 5K and the Scottish Mile 2022
It’s like that – Brian Goodwin 10k and Crichton parkrun
This hopefully won’t be a long one, for your sake and mine. I’m sitting writing it on my phone whilst sitting getting some “fresh” air down on the Solway Coast and thought I may as well get my catch up done. Last time out I had got the bronze at the Scottish 10k for M50 … Continue reading It’s like that – Brian Goodwin 10k and Crichton parkrun
Other Voices – Roon the Toon / Scottish 10k Championships 2022
The hardest blogs I find to write are the ones where I have done well and achieved something. There I have said it. It is down there in black and white. Or maybe I’ll make it mauve as a limited edition, probably not though as I am not really sure what mauve actually is to … Continue reading Other Voices – Roon the Toon / Scottish 10k Championships 2022
Change my Mind – Shettleston 10k 2022 and Livi 800
This will come as no surprise to most of you but I don’t really know what I am doing. It’s true. Last year running wise I had a massive focus, I knew I wanted to compete at the steeplechase. My aims were in black and white, no dubiety; I knew exactly what I wanted. I … Continue reading Change my Mind – Shettleston 10k 2022 and Livi 800
Sub-culture – The Monument Mile Classic 2022
So let’s be honest here, I am in the twilight of my running career and I mean that in a nice way and in a respectful way to myself. Now hold fire Mr Angry Keyboard man and hear me out, I can already see the smoke coming off your fingers, easy there tiger. It’s not … Continue reading Sub-culture – The Monument Mile Classic 2022
Never Give Up – the Sri Chimnoy Scottish 5k championships 2022
Disclaimer: This is my own personal blog about my own wee achievements. Occasionally things come together and I get a good result. If that happens I will celebrate it here to remember how it feels, because believe me, there are enough bad ones. The 12th May 2019 and it’s a hot, sunny day in Coatbridge. … Continue reading Never Give Up – the Sri Chimnoy Scottish 5k championships 2022
Everyday Stranger – British Masters and Grangemouth Round the Houses 10k champs 2022
Disclaimer: This is just a wee blog of race I ran. Just for me. I find it cathartic to get it out and put it down and then I carry on. Aye I know I'm weird but I'm doing no harm. It's here if you're bored and want a 5 minute diversion. 10k racing. Oh … Continue reading Everyday Stranger – British Masters and Grangemouth Round the Houses 10k champs 2022
Cocoon – The Tom Scott Road races round the loch 6k(ish)
This won't be a long one you'll be glad to know. A short one because I did the short race. And because I'm short. Just a wee reminder to myself. About the race that is, I always know I'm short. Now I love the Tom Scott road races. The 10 miler is one of my … Continue reading Cocoon – The Tom Scott Road races round the loch 6k(ish)
A Little Less Conversation – Scottish National Road Relays 2022
I left you back in February after the Masters Indoors, a cracking 800, a less than cracking 1500 and a body that was done in. The sensible among us would have taken a bit of time out but never let sensible and me be mentioned in the same sentence again. It is not fair to … Continue reading A Little Less Conversation – Scottish National Road Relays 2022
Sparky’s Dream – the Scottish Master Indoor track 2022
The usual disclaimer at the start to pre-empt the naysayers. It is just a hobby, a bit of fun, and that goes for both the writing and the running. I am not claiming to be a world-beater and just like to record the wee achievements that I manage to do for myself. So last time … Continue reading Sparky’s Dream – the Scottish Master Indoor track 2022
