About Me
Regular runner. Former Great Britain baseball team member, ok albeit briefly ;) 2 at bats 2 Strikeouts :) . Putting on my GB shirt was a very proud moment. A few tears were shed ! :) Worked really hard over the last few years, stayed focussed and bagged a sub3 hour marathon at London, followed by going sub 2:42 at Berlin and following up with 2.40 at Abingdon. Have run eight sub 2.45 marathons over the last few years. Don't do loadsa miles, just enough to be half decent ;) but enjoy each race I do :)
Percy Thrower had a magnificent garden. Why ? Cos he nurtured it ! :)

Jock is proud to wear black pantherz sportswear but stresses the importance of reflective clothing for dark winter evenings.

Tired of doing lots of miles now. Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2018.

Can't do it anymore but I'll keep on trying ! :)

A few years ago I ran in red Baywatch shorts through the surf on Cocoa Beach. Women could'nt stop waving it me & I waved playfully back whilst the wind blew through my locks. Only then realised that my flies were open and they were alerting police.
