Running race 45:04 [5] 10.02 km (4:30 / km) +188m 4:07 / km
shoes: Brooks Ghost
Drymen 10k, 10th place.
Mix of road, forest road, and footpath. Route changed in the morning to less tarmac and more muddy path as Forestry Commission had not after all cleared their felling from blocking the planned track, so a longer route needed in the woodland to get round it. Plenty of climb.
Heavy legs after a first week or so back in training - started steady and kept at similar intensity the whole way, could have run the pace a while longer but struggling to go any quicker at any point. Watched the lead group of three gradually disappear ahead, including Rosco on his way to second place.
Dashed off to the uni afterwards to watch Roger at the end of the Ochil 2000s but too slow to beat him to the finish.....
Stopped off on way home to take advantage of last day of sale at The Running Company in BofA before it is taken over - all my running trainers well overdue for replacement so I now have two spangly new pairs :)
Running warm up/down 19:08 [3] 3.52 km (5:26 / km) +116m 4:40 / km

Warm up with Rosco checking out the last section of the course. No warm down except to dash to the car when the rain started.....
