West Highland Way from beyond the railway bridge (where path crosses the main road) to Milngavie with Alice on a damp and misty morning in 88:44. Felt good at the start and okay at the end, but rubbish in the middle (near the Beech Tree Inn). Reasonable pace, but Alice always much quicker and occasionally looping back to stay in touch. Good workout.

Ruchill parkrun #84 in 23:27 (10 seconds outside Ruchill PB). Concerted effort on a chilly morning.

Gentle warm up before the parkrun.

Much needed rest day.

First CLYDE Terrain Run of 2019. 356 Trig anti-clockwise returning via the bunker with Mirjam, Ty, Iain, Thomas and Alice on a cool and still evening in 51:39.

Greenmantle Dash 2019 (3.2 km, 200 m) in 24:27 (unofficial). Cold (-2 degrees) with frost on the ground, but with bright sunshine from a clear blue sky. Steady effort without ever feeling that I was entirely flat out.

Warm up before the race.

Pollok parkrun #515 in 26:09. Steady round a one-off return to the classic course due to a fallen tree. Chilly, but felt much better than during and after my truly awful 200th parkrun here exactly a week ago.

Slow jog into the Park.

Tollcross parkrun #296 in 24:53. Second parkrun of the morning. Reasonable effort in the sunshine. Thomas 3rd in 17:34, Alice 63rd in 22:43, Rachel 220th in 30:21.

Brighouse to Old House Farm along the Calderdale Way with Thomas (who had to do much doubling back) in 100:15. Felt okay to Clay House (46:55), but then flagged on the second half finishing over Norland Moor (53:20). One or two changes to the waymarked route (especially just after Clay House) since I used to do this route.
