26 February 2014

Been a few weeks since I updated this and I've had a few memorable runs in the meantime.

Was planning to do a long Saturday run up Dunkeld way a couple of weeks ago, but due to the heavy snowfall on the Friday night, we decided instead to do the three trigs route around Perth. This is a route I'd wanted to do for some time, and it never let me down! Set off with Tom Sutherland up and down Kinnoull Hill, Saint Magdalens and finally Moncrieffe Hill

Second run to mention is the 'alleged' Devilla 15k organised by Carnegie Harriers. I say alleged because of the race sabotage! Long story short, there's been a falling out at the organisers and someone shortened the course!

Final run to update you about is the Circuit of Perth on Monday past, came across some flooding around the North Inch that I wasn't expecting! Good run though on tired legs from the previous day.

Two weeks on Saturday until the D33, need to get at least one long run in this weekend before the wee taper begins!

Ran so far 198.46
To run 801.54

February 1st

Been a busy few weeks, and that includes runs!

Had my first head-torch run, guided by Tom Sutherland and I totally loved it! We headed off along the railway bridge in Perth, through Norie Miller walk, up Lochty Brae and headed for Scone via Milk Boys walk in complete darkness! Once we arrived in Scone we head back through Quarrymill and along Isla Road. A thoroughly enjoyable experience I look forward to repeating soon.

Then last Saturday I was off for the first official race of the year, Buchlyvie10k. Iain Beedie drove down and eventually had to put faith in the sat-nav rather than me who assured I knew where to go!
Was a good run out, slower time than last year, but a good one to get under our belts. Big shout out to Iain who ran after a week of feeling crap due to the lurgy.

Tried to up the mileage today, be feeling a bit sore but went for a wee trek out and about, ran up Kinnoull Hill (well the road) to make the challenge a bit harder. Managed just under 10 miles. Need to have a good February with the D33 only about 6 weeks away.

Ran so far 106.95
