About Me
2014 was a good year with some consistent training and PBs at 5k, 10k and 10 mile, and the Fetch silver standard achieved. Other highlights were the Grizzly in March and lovely, muddy cross country season. In October, I took part in an organised running holiday from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh, being 85 trail miles over 5 days. As well as an enjoyable experience of life reduced to the essentials of running, eating and sleeping, it was a great confidence booster to find that I was able to run long distances on successive days. Unfortunately, work started to get in the way of training from November onwards and I have slowed down a lot since then. Now, it is April and there is light at the end of the tunnel as far as work is concerned, so I want to build up my training again. It is too late to do much in the spring races but with a bit of luck, I will be back in shape for the autumn season. Show More...
