bullet points

I think I can safely say that I am rubbish at maintaining a blog. It has been quite a while since I lasted posted and quite a lot of running connected events have occurred. So to limit me rabbiting on as I have a plane to Uist to catch tomorrow morning I am going to relay the information in bullet points:

• Mark completed the WHWR in under 24 hours
• I have only managed a few runs as been off work with viral / cold thing
• My Mum and Dad have decided that being back up for an ultra runner is the new going out
• The lovely Lee http://mrsmacsroadtomadness.blogspot.com/has become a 'runner'
• Mark has binned the role as my running coach - the reasons given I could not make out from his mumbling and cursing under his breath
• I am not going to be able to run the 10K on Sunday as only managed 3 miles at the weekend and even then a golfer from the Old Links course at Prestwick nearly offered me a lift on his golf caddy
• My Dad carpeted his van in preparation for being back up at the WHWR which Mark rudely did not use
• The weather meant I had a very easy job as race control at the WHWR
• I am considering auditioning for a new running coach with the main criteria - appearance in shorts and I don't mean me
• Found out at the WHWR that Davie's in laws are friends of the family from Helensburgh Highlanders
• Oh did I mention Mark has ditched his role as my running coach
• Dario has done his usual and increased race numbers without consulting me
• Got a lovely hug from Keith at post race BBQ
• My Mum has appointed herself as Mark's support commander in chief as she as seen how it is done and thinks he is a tad amateur in his approach to his running - her exact words were"I am going to take that boy in hand" - only hitch is that Mark is not running WHWR next year

So I think I covered most to the happenings. Race reports and pictures of the very enjoyable Beattie post race BBQ are available at http://www.whwblogs.blogspot.com/

Finally, my apologies for the almost business like approach to my blog this evening but I am still in the clearing your desk prior to going on holiday mode from work and I have yet to have my pre-holiday glass of wine!!!
