Occupation: Welfare Officer (Army). I finish my service Nov 2007. "Gis a job"
How long have you been a runner/athlete? I have always had an interest in fitness since primary school. A few county medals at 60 - 200 metres (in my teens) and dabbled at endurance and marathon events in recent years. MAC is my first club. I don't consider myself an athlete but one who tries to achieve my best.
What do you enjoy most about running/athletics? I enjoy keeping myself fit and in good health. I enjoy the warm friendly atmosphere and friendship from everyone at MAC. My hope in the long term is to support other members to achieve their goals, improve myself as a runner and reduce my PB times.
Favourite race/event and PB: I enjoyed the atmosphere at NY Marathon and London Marathon. I hope to try an event overseas again in the future. My best marathon time is 3hrs 38mins and half marathon 1hr 36 mins.
Favourite food: I love food and like to try anything, Chinese, Indian, Italian and my wife's cooking of cours.
Favourite holiday destination: To date my honeymoon destination Cancun Mexico. Going swimming with dolphins was awesome!
Hobbies (apart from running/athletics): Most forms of fitness training, watching football (Motherwell FC), cinema, reading, charity work, fund-raising and spending time with my family and children.
Lifetime's ambition: To enjoy the life I have and being grateful for all that comes my way. To get my PB down in full - ½ marathon and to try 10k events. To treat others as I would wish to be treated myself, with respect and dignity.
