The Malcolm McDougall Memorial Netherhall 10 mile race took place recently and was an enjoyably social occasion as quite a number of my friends and acquaintances took part as well as me.

However it was a particularly notable event because it was the first time that I sported the club strip: I was a bit worried about the possibility of disgracing it. Those who know me well will instantly see why I joined Derwent AC in Cockermouth rather than any other running club:

Yes, the club colour is PURPLE! Note the gold go-faster stripe: it worked, as I got a PB over the distance 🙂


The go faster stripe even works when not wearing it.. 😯 I went out running with Anna on Thursday and was left trailing 🙁 🙁
Ah, as maybe, but you’ve completed an Antarctic marathon dude!
She’s like that with cycling too!
Blimey that’s going back a bit
Wow, you look like you’re running really fast. Love the thumbs up picture.
