56 years ago I "threw away my tennis racket and started running". (From my 1962 diary)
In 1962-1965 I was a member of the ABHS Athletic club.
In 1966 a member of Adelaide University Athletic club.
In 1967-1968 a member of the Flinders University Athletic club, of which I was inaugural Secretary.
From 1969 a member of North Canberra Athletic club. To present day, as I am a life member.
Running highlights worth mentioning:
In May 1965 winner of the SA Schools one mile track championships, 4:32.2, just before my 17th birthday.
In July 1978 seventh in the National Marathon in 2:30.05 in “steam-bath” conditions, Caboolture, Queensland.
In November 1978 winner of the Canberra Marathon, 2:26.58, a new ACT open record at the time.
In 1979 ACT Distance Runner of the year.
In January 1984 3000m in 8:47.3, an AMA M35 Australian record which stood until 2015.
Being not currently injury free, I do not know what tomorrow will bring.
"Now enjoying my running".
