Newton PS Running Club.
My achilles wouldn't have liked a second session so I didn't take part in much. Core/strength session in the hall with Hazel then out the back of school for some short hill reps with run-off downhill section x 4.
Cold standing about! Brrrr.

Edinburgh City Race.
Calf hurting from about 500m in so I ran defensively and tried to look after my gait. Enjoyed the interesting sections but too much dead running for me. Still, I really liked visiting Deans.

FVO Night O - Doune planned by Lewis.
Great use of forestry. Poor use of compass and map reading from me. AWOL on a number of occasions. not even reading the map on occasion. A real wake up call for next weekend.
Pub fare made it all worthwhile.

North Third tour from Polmaise Quarry Road.
Cold and overcast but brightening up as I went. Had anticipated this taking me about an hour but a: I am fatter than I think I am, b: I have a poor memory. Result - a very enjoyable long run.

Out on Birnam Hill checking out the first sections of the BUCS courses. Cold (1 degree) but sunny. Bracken down and heather not as deep as I feared. Snow will help, if it ever comes. The forest is really beautiful and feels really Scandinavian/natural. I hope we can have a successful event, www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157014258011085&...

Sore calf but too glorious a day to not get out (too cold/icy for a ride) so I nipped up Dumyat, quad track, from the shoulder. Climbing carefully but managed to run all the way (just!). Feeling the Christmas pub! Bumped into Dr Jim (neighbour) at the top - not bad for an Octagenarian!

Run 20:00 [1]
Newton PS Running Club.
Jogging out the woods behind Menteith View. The kids ran one loop as warm up then raced a second loop. I then explained that they were to run it again and try to beat their time. What a rabble today - 31 kids non-stop scream and chatter - I lost my rag on a number of occasions - need to work on my attention control!
One last warm down loop before heading back.
As a session it worked well and most managed to up their ante and beat their previous time (about 4-6 minutes loop).

Sore left calf so took the opportunity to do a night (headlamp) mtb ride of to the Gathering Stone on the new tracks. All rideable and much fun, but still a lung buster on all the climbs. So much fun I went back round from Dykedale. Not surprised to see that the legs were empty second time round :-P

Dunblane Primary Schools XC race at Dunblane High this morning.
Wicked turnout for Newton - 76 kids from there and 135 in total from all three schools.
Wicked little course arranged by Hazel and Active Schools.
Our guys did great - Jamie Oldham in 2nd despite a foot niggle.
And May Cruft in 3rd - despite being a P5 youngster!!!
Great effort from all.
I arranged a warm up session and once home - Went for a jog after through Hydro etc and round Kellie Wynd looking for routes through the woods. Sore from sprinting, hanging around and cheering.
