Subida Fuente “El Paco”
I'd registered for this trail race (13.3 km / 350m ascent) during a miserable week in Glasgow, where I'd returned from all of my morning runs completely drenched, and hadn't really thought about how difficult it would be to run under the stifling…
Yarra River Trail Race
G'Day Westies! Here in Melbourne there is a 4km sand track circuit round which lycra clad Aussies run .... round and round and round and ....... after a few days of this the Wild Westie in me went mad and I ventured further afield, managing…
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…
Tour of Clydeside: Kilbarchan Klassic
Monday evening saw five Westie women and two Westie men don their trainers for the first of the four Tour of Clydeside 2010 races which run throughout this week. This course is arguably the hardest and least appealing of the races, as it involves…
Tour of Clydeside: Garscube Gallop
With legs well and truly gubbed from Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's races, Chris and I jogged up to Thursday's 5K trail race around the familiar stomping ground of Garscube woods behind Dawsholm Park. The route is reassuringly undulating and…
Aberfeldy Games Race
What a long drive for a piddly short race! However, temptation was too great and the journey was sort of justified by a pre-race cycle around to Loch Tay. With ear plugs in place to dampen the furious Bagpipe noise, I set off within a field…

Haworth Hobble
Quite literally my 10th go at this 32 mile trail race in Bronte country was indeed a “hobbleâ€Â. Compared to last week’s High Peak effort, it was a case of from the ecstasy to the agony. After an hour…
Hit the Pad, dad!
The change of start time from 2pm to 10am halved the entry to around 20 hardy souls, braving the ploughed-up muddy farmer's field, the drizzle, and sundry "kye" (that's cattle to youse toonies!). Only 4 club vests in evidence, if you count my…
