Dechmont Law Trail Race 10K, Livingstone in 50:47. One short (3 K) then one long (7 K) loop on trails, tracks and paths. Emma quicker at the start, but I caught and overlook her when she suddenly slowed at the end of the short loop. Thereafter tried to keep it together for the rest of the course. Hard work! First 5 K in 23:41, second 5 K in 27:06. Rachel rtd, Thomas 41:16, Emma 51.39.

Gentle warm up before the race.

Springburn parkrun in 22:36. The plan was for Thomas to pace Emma to 21:40 and we were together for the first lap, after which Emma and I both dropped off the pace Thomas was setting. Steady effort, but disappointed with 22:36 after running 22:04 on my previous visit to Springburn in April.

Gentle warm up and down.

Late night watching the election results come in, then a full day at work.

CLYDE/STAG Mains Estate Urban, Long Course (5.2 km) in 41:28. Good workout round an interesting urban course on a damp evening. Caught by Thomas (approximately 30 minutes) right at the end.

Felt too tired for the Cort-ma Law Hill Race, which was confirmed on a slow plod round a sunny Mugdock during Emma's cello lesson. Knees a bit sore and stiff.

Garscube Junior/Senior "3K" in 11.22 (not really 3K!). Brisk sprint round muddy tracks and playing fields within the Garscube Estate behind some speedy juniors in light drizzle. Substantial buffet afterwards!

Long day at work.
