XC / road / hill race 8:00 [3] 1.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
Only the first 1/4 of the exceptionally muddy Paxton XC done before having to retire. I couldn't walk at all today really, so trying to run was foolish. I retired after I realised that my inability to weight-bear on a fully straightened leg was hampering my performance somewhat.

Road running 8:00 [3] 1.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
An afternoon jog. Aborted as my calf was really bad and I wanted to save it for tomorrow's XC.

Off-road running 46:00 [3] 4.9 mi (9:23 / mi)
Skidding around Aberdour fields (forest behind jon bosco's, up the track going n, through humbie woods, a bit along to starlyhall, but the path was so muddy so I doubled back. Silver sands and home via the harbour). In trainers. It would have been fun in dobbs but was a bit too much of a mud-fest in trainers.

Trail running 51:00 [3] 5.76 mi (8:51 / mi)
Not v accurate b&b as I got lost in the mist on braids and had a diversion at blackford hill, and went home via tesco. Nice to be out. Still coughing up loads.

Note
Life is never dull.
Ray ran from Milngavie to Balmaha yesterday in highland fling training. 20miles, a bit over 3 hours (muddy trail). Ray set off from Balmaha at 10. I drove with the kids to Crianlarich, with a meeting time of 4 and a bit hours probably (30miles). Then I'll go for a nice run, meeting them in the cafe in Tyndrum. 4 hours, no sign of Ray. 5 hours, still no sign of Ray. 6 hours, still no sign of Ray. It is 4pm and rapidly getting darker. He has a hat, gloves, pertex, cash, phone (no reception), Jersey some water an a bit of Christmas cake (we were meeting for late lunch). No head torch.
Dilemma - when do I call the police??? I call the friend of ours who is police (and has tried and failed the highland fling so knows the course). Stevie is worried, but calm. We have misjudged the 30miles apparently. The 5 miles north of inversnaid takes 3 hours. If Ray doesn't arrive by 5:15 Stevie will call mountain rescue. A frozen, soaked, exhausted and hungry Ray turns up at 4:50, having hit the wall with 10miles to go, the last mile being along a forest path in the pitch black. FFS! A rethink required for next time we do this sort of. thing. So no run for me.
