Killie Standard

I advised friends that one of my reasons for switching to Kilmarnock Harriers was to get some publicity in the local press.  Little did I know that my first outing in a Killie vest had indeed made the news on Jan 22, 2010.  Although the headline of  Athletics: Junior Kilmarnock Harriers win medal treble gave nothing away, within the article which went onto talk about postponed races was the following mention:

AL Murray and Ian Goudie did manage a race at the weekend as they took part in the Park Run.


The standard route was still too icy and all credit to the organisers who recognised the efforts of almost 60 runners turning up and set out an alternative off-road course of three loops around playing fields in the park.
It was still icy in parts and more like cross-country but made for a good workout. Al finished in 22.58 in 18th place and Ian in 20th place in a time of 23.39.
