Barrhead 10k
This is the 3rd year of this 10K event but with growing amount of new races appearing in the race season calendar events gets double booked so reduces number of runners in attendance (Stirling 10K and our own Trossach’s weekend to mention a few this weekend). However there were 231 runners taking part in today’s event and high number of them unattached but still providing good competition and challenge. Most of the run was a rural in the back roads of Barrhead not so dissimilar to the Auldhouse roads in EK.
The first 5K was uphill leaving from Cowan Park onto Aurs Rd then into Springfield Rd up towards “the famous Craigie hill” then the next 2½ K was downhill followed by the final hill by St Luke’s High School and then after the wide curve at the top of Aurs Rd, a fantastic, long, straight and fast downhill section, leading back to Cowan park and the finish line.
I would recommend the race as it is has a tough and challenging route and don’t forget enjoyable however my time of 51mins 12secs wasn’t my best so roll on winter training and hill sprints to get faster for next year!
Thanks to Richard Lawton for the race report.

Great Scottish Run 10k and Half Marathon
Then it was time and the blue cluster was away next so I was determined to run a good tactical race and stick to my own pace. The second Harrier I saw storming past me in Bothwell Street towards the Kingston Bridge was Graham Allan then I was running with no Harrier in sight until John McBride ran up to me then passed me on Paisley Road West swiftly followed by Mary Goldsmith. From Bellahouston Park (5 mile stage) I didn't see another Harrier until I passed Chas Steven at the 8 mile mark at Pollokshaws Road then it was getting nearer to the end at Glasgow Green.
Up until mile 12 I was feeling alright then once I got into Glasgow Green I developed a stitch that seemed to get worse so my last mile I had to slow my pace & change my breathing to get to the end. Thankfully the sight of my wife Sarah and my daughters, Emma & Melissa, in the crowd gave me the final boost I needed to get to the finish line. All in all a good race with a good goody bag at the end. Not a PB time but for my 2nd Half Marathon not a bad time @ 1hr 51mins 34secs.
Here is a list of all the Harriers times' I could find from the result page so if I have not mentioned you sorry. The results are: 10K - Jamie Mcmonagle (40:16), Stephen Phimster (40:45), Brian McDougall (41:10), Julie Collins 58.17, Jennifer Fegan 63.36 and in her first ever 10k, Jamie's wife Jean McMonagle in 1:23:31.
Half Marathon - Jim Holmes (1:30:46), David Herbertson (1:35:42), David Wardrop (1:38:29), Graham Allan (1:38:36), Colin Banks (1:42:16), Mary Goldsmith (1:43:29), John McBride (1:45:15), Ian McKenzie (1:49:58), Alison Crooks ((1:48:31), Richard Lawton (1:51:34), David Searil (1:54:24), Clare Brady (1:58:52), Chas Steven (2:02:51) and representing the Tuesday Night section, Caroline Dewar 1.52.21, Mhairi Steven 1.57.23 and Monique McAdams (2:23:02).
It's also very worthy of a mention, the performance of Wednesday night parent helper Brian Bourke who ran a fantastic 1:30:55. (Somebody get him a membership form and a vest!)
Thanks to Richard Lawton for the report and well done to all. As Richard states, if we have missed anyone then please let us know. The lack of club names on the results sheet and the fact that Calderglen does not appear in the drop down list of clubs in the on-line search makes it very difficult to find Harriers. Disappointing considering how much money all of you paid to enter this event.

Perth 10k
the Perth 10K. The race started at the George Duncan Athletics Track with
2 laps of the track. The route then went down to the North Inch park,
round the North Inch twice and back to the Athletics Track. Although it
was a bit windy the winner, Michael Carroll from Perth Road Runners
completed the course in 31.02 with Robert Gilroy finishing 2nd in a time
of 31.52. The Calderglen trio were fairly pleased with their times each
recording just about a minute off their P.b.’s. Eddie was first over the
line in a time of 38.52, Stuart 41.01 and Sandra 45.30.
