Hello, another old face popping in.Hope you are all well.

Not much running for me has happened since the Stockholm Jubilee marathon. I have been struck down with some form of viral infection so not had any energy for the past wee while. Blood tests have come back clear and i'm feeling a bit better now so for the rest of the year i'm going to concentrate on just getting out running and getting the fitness back. So yesterday i missed out on the Glasgow half and i will be withdrawing from the Loch Ness marathon later this month. It's just come around too soon.I am already planning for next year though.

I did manage to take part in the Great Scottish Run toddler dash, my daughters first race! It was great fun and really well organised.

Can the Olympic Stadium in Munich is incredible, i was there in '99 for the football, in the old days when Rangers played in Europe. It's stunning and got a great history, i may put Munich in my marathon plans for next year!

Hello folks, been quite a while since i was in here, hope you are all doing well.

I ran Edinburgh again on Sunday, why oh why is it always hot when i do that marathon. I was planning on Sub 3.30 but the heat got to me and i made it round in 3.57.Under the circumstances i'm  fairly happy with that, i know i dont cope well in the sun and due to family commitments training was not as good as it should have been.

Next on the agenda is the Stockhom Jubilee Marathon on 14th July, which again has the potential to be another hot and sunny race so think it may be Loch Ness the scene of all my best marathon times before i get a new PB.

Can i'm over in Stockhom from Thursday evening till the Sunday afternoon, flying KLM via Amsterdam both ways. I'll pop in here closer to the time and see if we can get some plans sorted.

I'm not even going to mention football while i'm here, it's turning in to a saga with no sign of it ending soon!

Another ghost of christmas past here. How are we all? 

 Can i'm signed up for the Stockholm Jubilee Marathon for next year. Have you got flights booked yet? I'm not sure what my plans for it will be yet. I'll try and keep in contact with you and see what your plans are for it.

As well as running i play handball which is a court sport with lots of impact.

 I use there http://www.asics.co.uk/indoor/products/gel-blast-men/

If you look for a shoe designed for indoor court sports such as handball, volleyball, squash etc. you should find something along the lines of what you are looking for.

Adidas do a range of indoor court shoes called Stabil and there are a lot of european manufacturers like Hummel and Kempa which do similar shoes.
