WHEN DID YOU START RUNNING AND WHY?   When I was 11 years old in school cross country.  I started because my sports teacher made me.

FAVOURITE THING ABOUT DUMFRIES RUNNING CLUB?    It’s a small friendly club.

POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WITH DUMFRIES RUNNING CLUB?  Les and his clipboard and the monthly handicaps; Christmas handicap (you never quite know what’s going to be in that present!); hill race and running the Club championships.

HOW DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE IMPROVED (SPEED/HEALTH/CONFIDENCE)?   As I am getting older I rarely feel I am improving, just hanging on with my fingertips!!!

FAVOURITE PLACE TO RUN?  I like to run along the river towards Dumfries town centre.  I also like Screel  Hill.

FAVOURITE TYPE OF RUNNING/DISTANCE?  Anything, but not very short runs as I can’t get going.

WEEKLY MILEAGE?  Between 30-50 depending on what I am aiming at.  I also swim twice a week.

MOST SATISFYING RUN/PERFORMANCE?   Still waiting for it.
