A few K of an old course around Aird's Park to see how well the map is holding up. Very heavy and wet underfoot after all the rain - and that, plus the fading light, made it hard to read the 1:15. The map is still great, though, and some beautiful terrain. It'll just need update to the rhodies which are spreading at frightening speed.

A crazy weather day. Planned to run the coast to Ganavan and back through the woods. The weather didn't seem too promising - but what's a bit of wind and rain? Heading around the back beach, the wind got to the point where my legs were whipped from under me several times. Then the rain turned to hail. It was extremely unpleasant. Stuck it out for a while, then headed inland into the shadow of the hills. Water everywhere.

Commute. The old bike is falling apart!

Commute. Got the bike out because it was, surprisingly, a sunny day.

Dunbeg forest with Arlene and Sheila. Pushing up the hill and feeling pretty good.

Easy for the rest.

Intervals along the hospital road. 4 x 1 km, uphill and into the rain (4:07-4:18). Still feeling slow. There was an ice cream van touring the houses playing Popeye the Sailor Man, which seemed quite incongruous on such a wild winter night!

Jog to/from/between intervals.
