Delighted to be selected again to represent Northern Ireland at Masters’ level in an international 10k against England.

Even more delighted that my son was selected to represent England in the same race.

I started running when I was 13 when my father died suddenly. Running was my psychological protection against external threat, and it continued to be. There must be a good book to write on the psychology of life-long running, and its challenges, physical and mental, and its origins.
