Race Report: CAFOD Fun Run 27/12/2012

"Please Run Carefully. Do Not Fall Into The Canal. This Is A Fun Run Not A Race. But if you come first there is a prize." said the race organiser. And I heard a loud laugh beside me. I looked around and recognised the laugher as an ex-work colleague, a member of Macc Harriers and veteran of several SuperSix races with a best time of under 39 minutes. Well if he wasn’t planning to take it too easily then neither would I!

Race Report: Malaga Marathon 09/12/2012

Marathons in December tend to be a bit thin on the ground, particularly in the UK, so over the past few years it's been necessary for me to start looking further afield.
