Surprisingly long and tough trail run with Alice with damp snow almost the entire way. Bearsden to Waitrose, along Kelvin Way past Dobbies to Balmuildy Bridge to Science Park (with an extra loop after trying unsuccessfully to cut through the Science Park) and back via Canniesburn Toll in 100:50. Approximately 14.9 km. Alice significantly stronger all the way.

Brisk "temp" run entirely failing to keep up with Alice in the snow from Bearsden to Milngavie and then clockwise round the Mains Estate through the very snowy woods and back.

Token warm down to get my breath back.

A third "snow day" in a row. Bearsden to Milngavie to Mugdock to Clobber Road to Craigdu Wedge to Bearsden with crunchy white snow virtually all the way. Glorious "winter wonderland" conditions in Mugdock. Stopped to help to dig out a stranded motorist on the way up to Mugdock Reservoirs.

More heavy snow (schools and universities still shut), but eventually ventured outside for the first time in 48 hours with Alice for a very snowy terrain run from the house along virtually deserted roads still deep in snow and up into an even snowier Baljaffrey Woods and back in 50:40.

Trapped inside by heavy snow all day (schools and universities all shut), so did 54 minutes (24.6 km, 1,065 calories) on the exercise bike instead.

The Bearsden to Milngavie to Canniesburn Toll back to Bearsden loop on a cold night with a thin layer of snow on the ground (enough to put paid to Garscube intervals) and more snow gently falling at a steady pace in 52:31.

Rest day.
