Warming up before the three races.

Glasgow Parks Championships, Race 1, Commonwealth Village and Cuningar Loop, Veteran Men (2.3 km) in 13:29. Fast as I could round and easy area on a cold morning with one mistake - a wrong turning coming out of the village - which cost approximately 25 seconds.

Glasgow Parks Championships, Race 2, Tollcross Park, Veteran Men (2.6 km) in 13:25. Fast as I could round an easy course in a familiar park.

Glasgow Parks Championships, Race 3, Drumpellier Country Park, Veteran Men (3.2 km) in 23:29. Started just behind Pat and Brad, and we all met up at 1. Lost Pat on the way to 2 (he took a different route) and then with Brad to the gaffled loops. Emerged from these loops with Brad about 20 meters behind, which I immediately lost when I headed off down the wrong track. Unexpectedly this actually worked in my favour as Brad then headed off in the wrong direction (he mispunched) leaving me free to get to 12, 13 and the finish ahead of him. An enjoyable chase on a damp day.

Ruchill parkrun #80 in 23:17. Steady effort on a chilly morning with Megan Keith (2nd in 19:05) shooting past at the start and Alice (22:08, a big Ruchill PB for her) also passing me early on. Pleased with a Ruchill PB by 12 seconds.

Reasonable warm up and down on a chilly morning.

Long day at work.

CLYDE Terrain Run. Mugdock with Dave R, Mirjam A, Ty S, Ian M and Alice W on a damp evening in 53:07. After ten minutes Iain head-butted a tree, producing a lot of blood and necessitating a brief lie-down. Dave took him home while the other four of us made a large clockwise loop of the Vistors' Center at a rather brisk pace. Tough workout.

Long day at work.

Garscube interval session at Todd Campus. Warm up (15:00), 9 x 600 m in 2:28, 2:40, 2:40, 2:42, 2:40, 2:40, 2:40, 2:40, 2:48 (possibly slower due to doing this one out and back), warm down (10.52). Session 68:50. Slightly lacking inspiration after the first interval.

Long day at work.
