So much for the 5 hour training weekend.

Pathetic.

Run from home up to Gathering Stone mid-afternoon (a brief respitein childminding).

Feeling tight, heavy legged and unable to get HR up. Should be fine for a 5 hour weekend!

A run with Ross (and a bit with Abi and Louise) at Carron valley.
It was meant to be a good tempo track run session to get in a longish run and work the legs.
Ross working me hard (or me not wanting to go easy) until we ran out of track towards Miekle Bin and fought through forest till we popped out into plantation and realised we needed to back out.
Headed back for home but whilst chatting we missed our track turn-off and didn't realise we were climbing again until the track ran out.
Like all wise men we decided to keep going, and going, and going.
Till it was fight and then felled. Both of us tried to fight through the windblow and despite shouting for each other for ages we got split up.
Both of us trying to escape from hell whilst trying to work out what we'd say to our other halfs.
I managed to find a wall which took me back to safety, Ross found another wall and by sheer coincidence we appeared at a random track junction at the same time.
Hugs and shouts all round and then traipsed musingly back to car and raced back to dinner in Stirling.
Oh what fun!

Sore legs from the weekend's roads - not sure about this road running lark - thinking of training for the Ochil 2000s instead....
Will give it one more week and if calfs not improving.... back onto the soft stuff and hills and byebye Marathon plans....

Can't say I'm that upset about it.....

Hard massage from Janine tonight, calf bellies sore and ITB's murder!
