I’ve just received an e-mail announcing that entries for the 2008 Men’s Health Forum Scotland (MHFS) 10k run are open with a nice discount for early entrants (and maybe some low-number prestige, or is that just me ;-). It takes place on June 15th 2008 (That’s Fathers Day!), in Bellahouston Park, and it is apparently the […]
After last week’s ‘undulating’ Nigel Barge 10k, in atrocious conditions - cold, wet and windy, I somehow managed to squeeze a new personal best out of myself. The reason was simply the solid training I’ve been getting at Bella, and the excellent work of the coaches in making it fun, interesting and varied. I had hopes […]
I’m currently trying to build support for Glasgow to get it’s own regular, fun, free, sociable 5k time trial in the UKTT model that’s been such a success down south. If you’re a runner, you may already be familiar with the Bushy Park Time Trial, Richmond Park Time Trial and the follow-on events that have […]
Start as you mean to go on, they say. My running goals 2008 running are, hopefully, a sub 45:00 10k time, and getting under 22:00 on 5k. Perhaps even sub 01:40:00 on the half marathon too. So on the first 10k of the new year I was somewhat surprised (and very delighted) to find I’d taken […]
As mentioned earlier I’d planned to get a bit of running done during the Christmas holidays. Originally this had just been the 4 mile run at Clevedon, and hoped to get a few other runs in as time allowed. I was pleased however to hear that the Mendip Hills Hash House Harriers (MH4) were […]
I was away from home, visiting family in Somerset over Christmas, and wanted to get a good bit of running in, so was pleased to find that the Clevedon Athletics Club organise a four mile road race on Boxing Day, so made sure i got my entry form posted off nice and early. My parents and […]
Hello if you’re visiting my website after searching for details about the Go Ape proposal in Pollok Park, Glasgow. The community campaign to stop Go Ape from taking over a part of Pollok Park is at: www.savepollokpark.com - Be sure to visit, and also to write to the Planning officer to express your views on the […]
There is a peril associated with dependency on a gadget. When it misbehaves, or you forget it, you can find yourself at a bit of a loss. My Garmin Forerunner 305 is a case in point: I forgot it on my first Cross Country race, and today I decided to go out for a quick […]
Another quite unexpected and surprising thing happened me today, and this time it’s about my other passion these days, and that’s running. It’s proving to be quite a strange few days in all sorts of ways! I’d received my subscription copy of Runner’s World earlier this week, but not had a chance to look at it. […]
