Training Log Archive: Lard

B&Q shop and across to Will & Susan's - took the excuse to drag Will out. A cracking paced run round the paths in Clacks. A bit tired after yesterday's efforts.

Then "Bolt"ed back home for more Ennis and 100m final - cracking!

Run from home to Dumyat and back - an excellent long run with some cracking tunes on the MP3 (Scooter!). Got rainblasted at the top but a rendition of Elbow's Draw the Curtains Wide couldn't stop me smiling!
Bumped into Brian and Heike on the lower track - having taken Lucas up Dumyat for the first time!

Jessica Ennis all day long, yum, yum!

Took liberties at work and went off for a long run at lunch. Out the back and round to Doonans then up the long hill track climbing from 19m to 305m at the radio mast at the top. From there I struck out north east up Creag Dhubh heading for the trig point at Craig of Monieveckie. Unfortunately I didn't find any tracks so this was some trudge. But eventually I made it to the trig at 400m and enjoyed the views. Found the path from here! Apparently you can run across all the hills all the way to Callander - must try it some time. Must buy the Harvey map of the area! Took the sheep track back south west following the ridge and eventually popping back into the forest and onto a forest track. Took this for a while and then found an mtb single track so followed that off the hill - wicked! Until I lost it and had to hack through brambles. Back onto another track and down the hill track to home... grand day out, great views!
Still slacking at work writing this, no-one seems to have missed me....

FVO run from Uni - hilly!
Feeling my weight.

Then pie and cake at the Westerton - great turnout (17?) to see Abi off on her travels. Bon voyage!

C • Great Turnout! 1

Run from home after work. Through Hydro along to ring road across to Ashfield and back along the river through Laigh Hills and Holmehill and Hydro. Not feeling particularly flighty or smooth but great to be out and ITB's not snagging!
