Stephen Phimister had a dream run, setting a PB of 01:28:36 on the new half marathon route. Julie Beveridge also clocked a PB of 01:30:36 and must have dreamt she passed a large banana near the end which bore a remarkable resemblance to her sister Louise!
The ever improving Martin Howell put his harriers training to good use finishing in 01:33:17.
Jim Holmes took a minute off last year’s time with 01:34:57. Graham Lindsay was happy with 01:38:50 and Graham Ramage clocked a steady 01:39:19.
Jim Mearns used his 26 mile warm up last weekend to finish in 01:39:34. The ever dependable John McBride produced another solid performance with 01:42:17. Alan Bow finished in 01:43:03 and John Mullen showed the junior harriers he can run finishing in 01:43:38. No administration problems this year for Colin Banks who completed the course in 01:44:05. David Wardrope must surely be delighted with his run, battling injury all year and dramatically improving on last year’s time with 01:45:33. Mary Goldsmith finished in 01:53:36 and Ruth Kelly was another using a full marathon last week as preparation to finish on 02:00:40. David Searil had a tough run but experience brought him through in a time of 02:05:34 in his 22nd consecutive Great Scottish Run.
Thanks to Sandra, Eddie and Andy for support on the way round and to all those who shouted, “Come on Calderglen.” It really does help.

well done to all great representation
Well done all on great performances. Technically, according to Russell's rules, you all beat Haili too, so some scalp! Jim I notice they are holding on to you with those medals. Eilidh Child must think you have some turn of speed!
Alan
I seem to remember Jim Mearns mentioning casually that his time was a PB, so very well done to him. I'm also pretty sure Ruth's time would have been a PB although I haven't spoken to her to confirm.
In amongst all the PBs I have to report that, for me, yesterday was a PW by some distance. My glute problem has not healed as I had hoped and was forced to walk six or seven times, seeing Grant again tomorrow - ouch!
Thanks Alan, you cheered me up by reminding me Haile DNF'd - yessss!
