FVO Training at Barr Wood.
Took Matthew and Hannah round the white course, via the obstacle playground and killed an hour. Then ran the green contour only course - not very easy given how poor the contour work is and how skewed the map is!

Gorgeous day for a run, if only you can get out of the cul-de-sac!
Sheet ice everywhere so unfortunately Janine and family bottled it and I got let away. Run with Will and Jon round Callander Crags and Bracklyn Falls - exceptional weather, icy tracks (Dobbs on) and good company. Didn't enjoy the climbs - struggling for breath today, but did enjoy the views and the falls are alway excellent.
Lunch with the group in Callander - great as always.
Did a family explore out the back in the aft with Hensman family also...good fresh air!
Had hoped to run round the Scottish Sprint course at North Muirton - but I was just too sore - managed a wee run round North Insh, till it got too much.

Kinnoul Hill - PB thrashed !!!!
Sunny but chilly day, hobbled across to Kinnoul wondering about running the FVO night race in Stirling Town - decided against this as I wanted some time off the roads. So this would be my only chance of a hard session till the weekend......
Decided to gun it from the hill foot. Pushed hard all the way and went into lactic overdrive on the middle hill. Pushing on and trying not to slip, really struggled on the very steep section (1 in 2) but ran hard all the way. Knew this would be half decent but not expecting to blow the old PB out of the water!
Old PB 14:05. New PB 13:40 ;-)
Time from work to top 24:06.

Up Magdalene Hill and round about from work. A lovely winter's day. Nothing like the bad weather the south are having. And despite various niggles it was good to be out.
