Glasgow Park Run event #128.

Going on holiday for a week and to keep the race fitness going I went along to the Glasgow park run this morning where conditions were almost perfect although a little muggy.I kept my position through most of the race apart from swopping places…

Calderglen 10K Trail Race

Given the number of hill races on this weekend it wasn't a surprise that there were only three Westies running in last night's Calderglen 10K Trail Race. This was my first time running this one and I met Don at the start who described the course…

Revolutionary Serenade

22nd June 2011 Results It's not often that a race is preceded by a song from the organiser, but before the start of the Red Moss Revolution we were treated to a wee ditty about Bavelaw to honour the land owner who stays in those parts and…

7 Hills of Edinburgh

I ventured over to the east for the 7 Hills race. It's an odd race that attracts hill runners and road runners alike. The format is like any hill race - visit the 7 designated tops in the specified order - but most of the running is through…

LAMM 2011

A surprisingly sunny weekend in the North of Scotland - it must be the LAMM weekend again, and even the midges stayed away this year (well most of the time anyway). Besides some rain on the afternoon and evening of the overnight camp, the rest…

LAMM 2011 report v2

Turns out that there was more than one Westie at the LAMM this year... at least, if I am allowed to consider myself a lapsed/part-time Westie. Let my sorry tale be a warning to all. Always go to Wednesday night training. Not going to training…
