Cort-ma Law on a gloriously sunny Sunday morning with Thomas and Emma. Very wet underfoot but great views and lots of fun descending. Climb 37:45, descent 28:30, total time 66:15. Fantastic to be out on the hills in such great conditions with the little guys.

Victoria parkrun #20. Good run on a clear and still but surprisingly cold morning. With Emma all the way, just behind and fleetingly ahead of her on the first lap (6:50) then slightly further behind her on the second (6:42) and third (6:48) laps and the run in (1.28). It was good to have her to spur me on to a Victoria parkrun PB by 10 seconds. Good to see the injured Donald Petrie spectating, but I'm not sure I managed a smile for his photos.

Gentle warm up and down with Emma.

CLYDE Terrain Run on a chilly evening. Straight up the Slacks (with driving hail at one point) to the trig point and then back down in two group of five doing a short o course. Plenty of mistakes and confusion on the descent (made harder for me by having a torch with the power of a candle and no map).

Debut at the Garscube Strength and Conditioning session at Scotstoun Leisure Centre. Probably my first "circuits" session for 30 years. One hour consisting of jogging, stretching, 3 x 12 stations x 45 seconds, and more stretching. No surprise that since my arms are virtually vestigial I was rubbish at all the exercises requiring arm and/or upper body strength. An excellent workout, and I expect to be stiff in usual places tomorrow morning!

Cycling round Mosshead hanging controls for the CLYDE Club Night urban orienteering event.

Steady run round the "pairs route choice" urban orienteering course on my own about 30 mins after all the pairs had started collecting the flags as I went. Steady workout.

56 mins (26.2 km, 1,072 calories) on the exercise bike.
