Carnegie Harriers Devilla 15 K Trail Race in 76:02 (official gun time). Chilly with bright blue skies and frozen ground underfoot made for excellent running conditions this year. Steady all the way - definitely not really racing like last year - but pleased to take 4 minutes off my official 2013 gun time of 80:12. Thomas (first junior) a minute a km quicker than me in around 60 minutes. Then about 4 hours driving.

Helped at Victoria parkrun in the morning, but didn't get out for a run myself later in the day.

Rest and recovery day.

CLYDE Terrain Run. Anti-clockwise around Jaw Reservoir on a cold evening with patches of snow and ice underfoot with Thomas, Emma, Mirjam, Ty, Iain, Alastair and Adelka. Feeling pretty rough and plodded round in 55:13. It doesn't look very promising for the Devilla 15 km race on Sunday.

Garscube Strength and Conditioning Session. Longer than usual warm up, then a "challenge session" on squats, press ups, lunges at sit ups against the clock in approximately 13:50. Total session 60 minutes.

40 minutes (16.1 km, 968 cal) on "pyramid" programme on exercise bike.

Didn't feel up to intervals.

Not feeling 100%.
