About Me
In 1981 aged 17, I watched the very first London Marathon and decided that wished to do one. I trained hard and 5 months later ran my local Inverclyde Marathon that same year finishing in 3:23:21 despite run/walking the last 6 miles due to hypoglycemia and inexperience (only water was handed out in those days). I returned for 1982 and 1983 but didn't manage to beat my inaugural marathon time. I then had a break of a mere 19 years before then deciding, "hey I'd like to run another". I chose the 1st Baxter's Loch Ness Marathon (BLNM) in 2002 as my 4th marathon and having now recently done my 50th Marathon, I am looking forward to getting back on track and doing well in Amsterdam 2011. Also completed 2 full Ironmans in my career (Frankfurt and Nice) but now heavier and much older and with my current PB way back at Paris in 2003 being 3:21. I am still looking for that very elusive 3:15 FLM qualifying time. Show More...
