Duddon Sands
25th January 2007, Near Barrow-in-Furness
Cold and cloudy, but just enough light from the half moon for a run along Duddon Sands in the dark. Quite slow - 47 minutes for 9km.

Adrian Callan
28/11/62 - 16/1/2007, Aged 44
My good friend and work colleague passed away last Tuesday after a 2½ year battle with leukaemia. Adrian was not only one of the nicest guys you would ever meet, but was also one of the top Scottish athletes during the 1980's - and one of the very few Scottish athletes to break the 4-minute mile barrier. An enormous number of people turned out to Adrian's funeral yesterday at Bishopbriggs.

Passing Penrith
16th January 2007
A day of severe weather warnings, blown over lorries, and snow showers in Scotland. I was in no rush to get up the road, so I stopped off in Penrith for half an hour. Visited the cemetery and Penrith Beacon, and passed my old primary school on Brunswick Road where I was a pupil from January 1969 to July 1970.

Jack Crawford 10k
13th January 2007
Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow
10km canal bank race
Results
Fairly horrible weather. Cold, windy and raining. Muddy and slippy in places. Ran pretty much according to plan. Tucked in with a small group for the section from Cadder Bridge to Balmore Road. This gave a massive advantage in terms of wind protection, and after Balmore Road Bridge I felt reasonably fresh from there to the end, and just managed to hold off the final challenge from Paul Thompson. Allan Adams won the race in 32:31. A slow time for him given that he was running into the wind on his own. First lady was Lesley Chisholm of Springburn Harriers in 38:23. I finished 24th in 36:26.
