IT'S TOO LATE WHEN WE DIE. Sunday, 13 September 2015. STRIDE - STRATHAVEN - GLENMORE. Duncan at checkpoint 2. A nervous Alison at the start. Gavin presenting our prize.

Race sponsor present winning prize to training partner. The lovely Angela Barron sent an revised copy of the finish line photo which I have been instructed to use :. Next up was the Glenmore 12 ...

GERRYS RUNNING TALES: JOHN LUCAS MEMORIAL ROUND STRATHAVEN 50 MILE ULTRA
http://gerrythepacemaker.blogspot.com/2016/08/john-lucas-memorial-round-strathaven-50.html
IT'S TOO LATE WHEN WE DIE. Friday, 19 August 2016. JOHN LUCAS MEMORIAL ROUND STRATHAVEN 50 MILE ULTRA. The 3 Amigos before the race. At this point in the race at high Langridge our 3 intrepid adventurers ahead all decided to go off piste and rewrite the route, luckily for them the road they took hooked back exactly where the correct route would go to the checkpoint in Stonehouse so they didn't get lost somewhere in deepest darkest South Lanarkshire and not much difference in distance.

GERRYS RUNNING TALES: July 2016
http://gerrythepacemaker.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
IT'S TOO LATE WHEN WE DIE. Friday, 22 July 2016. Kate, me, Michael. The final climb pre race and still fun. The finishing line was a welcome sight with a 3:02:59 for me and 3:03:15 for Michael and amazingly 1st and second vet 45s, so even though I was rough we both got a prize. The rest of the stag party trundled over the finishing line in various states of disrepair with us heading straight back home and Gav, Lee and Kelvin staying to celebrate some more. Me and Mark trying to get Rob to join Vicky Park.

GERRYS RUNNING TALES: PACING AT THE LONDON MARATHON 2016
http://gerrythepacemaker.blogspot.com/2016/04/pacing-at-london-marathon-2016.html
IT'S TOO LATE WHEN WE DIE. Friday, 29 April 2016. PACING AT THE LONDON MARATHON 2016. Race week was hectic at work and I had to work on Saturday morning which was not a problem as Michael had offered to collect my race number and backpack/flag for the race as he was flying down on Friday. Not too bad a sleep was had and I could have just rolled over and went back to sleep when the alarm went off at 5:45am. A brief glimpse out the window and I could see today was not going to be the nicest weather day...

GERRYS RUNNING TALES: SUNSHINE AND ICE
http://gerrythepacemaker.blogspot.com/2016/02/sunshine-and-ice.html
IT'S TOO LATE WHEN WE DIE. Friday, 19 February 2016. It has been a hectic few weeks since the new year and there has been a lot of running involved which as the heading suggests has had a bit of variety in weather conditions. With a bit of paperwork overload from the previous months Mrs Wife kindly suggested/conceded that a few days in Dubai would probably do me good so within a few minutes the marathon was entered and flight booked. DUBAI MARATHON STRAVA LINK. It was a great event with 4/5's of team Cra...

GERRYS RUNNING TALES: January 2017
http://gerrythepacemaker.blogspot.com/2017_01_01_archive.html
IT'S TOO LATE WHEN WE DIE. Tuesday, 3 January 2017. THE BELATED BERLIN AND LOCH RANNOCH MARATHON BLOG AND MORE! You know you have lapsed a bit in the blogging stakes when you come to do a review of the year and the last report was 5 months ago so I will try and be brief and catch up in as few paragraphs as possible. I like to do report on races I have done to give as much information to others who are thinking about entering the same races a little insight on what to expect. The general consensus is Berl...
