Until Sunday 6th March, January's 3k on the Green constituted my only race appearance in 2016 and only one since early December. Lining up therefore for the club's 10km road race lifted a huge weight off my shoulders. A time of 31:49 came as a pleasant surprise off so little, inconsistent training. Onwards and upwards.
Inactivity provides ample time to look back and I'm amazed how long I've actually been competing for. The photo below shows me in Calderglen Harriers colours at the Tom Scott Road Race in 2008, clocking 56:48 for the 10 miles, a personal best at the time. My hair has more grey patches now than it did then.
