FVO training at Falkirk Wheel.
Great to get the whole family out on such a sunny day. Took Matthew round most of the yellow - lots of fun in the mud and playing poo sticks.
Then a blast round the green course. Didn't enjoy the cow-trod start but really enjoyed the rest. Cracking area.
Thanks to all the FVO helpers that ran today, great stuff!

After 3 failures to get off my backside I eventually forced myself out of the door (well, it was such a nice day!) and when waiting for satelites decide this was a worthy day to try for a PB on the Kinnoul Route,
Set off steady as always but worked a bit harder than normal up the first set of steps on the Scone Road and then literaly just dug in from then to the top (there really isn't much let-up for nearly 15 minutes!).
Struggling to get my HR up today, no quite feeling 100% but grittily attacking things eneough to get the new time to the top - 24:44 !!!
Previous 25:04, so not much progress really ;-)
