Emma wanted to run 15 km, so I failed to keep up with her from near Drymen back to Milngavie along the West Highland Way on a damp and chilly but not unpleasant Sunday morning. My first ever run with a Garmin, so I know that it as 13.76 km long in and took me 85:17. (Emma did over 15km.) A good workout, but a bit of struggle. Started to rain/snow soon after we finished.

Pollok parkrun #361. Steady effort on a cold but thankfully entirely ice-free morning in 23:12, suggesting that the extra loop to avoid "The Glade" we've run several times recently could be worth up to an extra 3 minutes. Slightly disappointed by the time, but it gives me something to work on in the next couple of months (and my knee felt pretty good).

Jog in and out of Pollok Park.

CLYDE Terrain Run. Cochno Hill with Emma and Lindsay on a cold, damp but clear night. Felt slow and heavy, but kept going to the top.

First proper Garscube Strength and Condition session of the year. 3 x circuits with 45 s for each exercise plus plenty of warm up and warm down. All arm related exercises just as tough as I remember from last year!

Didn't feel up to intervals in the dark and wet.

Map run round the woodland north of the Visitors' Centre at Mugdock Country Park with Alice. Wet underfoot, with one rough felled area. Enjoyable workout.
