Glasgow Parkrun # 139 - 24/09/2011

Official time was 18mins 43secs and I finished in 9th place.  I felt reasonably comfortable throughout this race.

City of Stirling 10K Road Race (Scottish Athletics 10K Championships and Stewarts Road Race Grand Prix Race 4) - 18/09/11

Time 37mins 10secs (chip). Very happy as this constitutes a PB for me! I was caught by around three runners in the last kilometre e.g. Robert Rogerson, Julia Henderson (not the girl in the picture below) and someone else. Although my chip time compares favourably with theirs. There was a top quality field, since it was in fact the Scottish 10K Road Running Championships. Ross Houston won the race in a really fast time - 30mins 20secs. My buddy Robert Gilroy finished in a very respectable 31mins 58secs and finished 13th, despite having a heavy cold which I hope hasn't been passed on to me. I finished in 98th place.

Cumbernauld 10K - 9/11/11

Chip time 37mins 31secs.
10th anniversary of 9/11 and a minutes silence was observed prior to this annual race. The weather was not very kind today, since it was wet and very windy. Running in that was difficult, so I am delighted with the time. The course is a bit short I think (pleasant surprise).
