Running 1:17:00 [3] 14.65 km (5:15 / km) +300m 4:46 / km
ahr:145 shoes: new Inov8 Roclite
If you are going to drink the night before a run, make sure you run with the person you drink with.....
A good idea in principle but Martin still seemed to be setting a pretty brisk pace at times, definitely quicker than I would have gone on my own. Enjoyable run though, from Inverdruie round Loch an Eilean and Loch Gamhna to its SE, back via Balvattan. Managed to avoid the worst of the weather whilst running: lots of snow settling as we headed back over Drumochter later, snow plough was in action.

Note
(rest day)
Fail to plan.....
By the time I worked out the opportunities for running today, they were all in the past, hmmm.
Instead celebrated Martin Ward's birthday with a five course meal and suitable accompanying drinks...

Running 44:00 [3]
ahr:144 shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
Lunchtime loop round Polmaise. Usually far too easy on myself on my steady runs so tried to keep the pace up a little more today without pushing too hard. Achilles felt okay but sore to the touch afterwards.

(rest day)
Sore achilles the last few days so decided i was due a day off.
Went to see Quantum of Solace instead, okay but nothing special, seemed almost more Bourne than Bond in some ways. And definitely not one of the more memorable Bond villains, hope they come up with a better one next time...

Running 1:07:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
Delayed at work so set off to try and find the others, checked out likely fireworks watching spots at top of Minewoods, on golf course, etc.
Never found them but couldn't believe the crowds and traffic jam on the back road at the top of Minewoods, hadn't realised Bridge of Allan fireworks were such a big event!
Headed back down, virtually ran past the others I think, went and watched the rest of the fireworks while jogging along the main road past Meadowpark etc. They were much more notable from nearer to them, impressive echo from the hills above BoA made it very atmospheric!

Running warm up/down 35:00 [2]
shoes: Brooks Adrenaline Jan 2008
warm up and down and drills and all that, including comedy sprints at the end. 3x10secs of them is a lot harder than 3x6secs was!

Pilates 40:00 [2]
Better than I was but still rubbish at some of them. Was in good company though as Jamie jr looked like he could do with some practice too.....
Circuits 25:00 [4]
Lard has introduced a new hopping exercise and I can't do it at all, might as well be trying to hop up and down on a wobble board!
