BORN:   05/12/1953

I started Jogging/Running in 1986 (age 32).

In 1987, I joined Grantham AC & trained with the Road Runners 3 times a week.

I’ve entered many Road Races over the years, but I achieved all my best times between 1993-1996, when I was competing as a Vet 40.

For many years I’ve also competed for the Club in X/C – Lincs League, Northerns, Nationals & also represented Lincs in the Inter-Counties.  (Don’t know why, because  running off-road is not really my thing!!!)

In Oct 1991, I competed in the first Track & Field competition at the Meres Stadium.

After that, myself & quite a few other GAC Road Runners went along for speed training every Wed.  I’ve competed in the Lincs League, Northerns and also represented Lincs in the Inter-Counties.  Again, my best times were when I was a V40,
