Paisley 10 K 2019 in 46:39. Consistent effort on a cool and blustery morning with showers and occasional puddles. Unofficially 23:01 for first 5 K, 23.35 for second 5 K = 46:36. Similar time to my only previous visit (46:20 in 2017).

Steady plod round Ruchill parkrun #114 on a very pleasant morning in 26:32.

Long day at work.

Garscube Gallop 7 K Trail Race, Dawsholm Park in 35:35. Slight different (longer?) course than last year with 4 (rather than 3.75) laps of the Park with the usual mud, puddles and steps. Caught by Thomas (3rd in 25:18) at the start of lap 3, caught Rachel (47:22) at the end of lap 4, but never saw Emma (32:22). By far the most interesting and enjoyable of the three Tour of Clydeside races I've done this week.

Dumbarton Dream 8 K (?), Levengrove Park in 39:36. A rather different course to last year, with 3.75 laps mostly within (rather than mostly round the outside) of the Park. Damp evening, with intermittent rain during the race. A fairly steady effort and didn't actually feel too bad at the end.

Gentle warm up and down in the drizzle.

Abbreviated and heavy-legged Grascube interval session at Todd Campus. Brief warm up, some drills, then 2 x 800 m followed by 2 x 600 m, and a brief warm down. A struggle.

Lochwinnoch Loosner 8 K at Castle Semple Country Park. Disappointed with my time of 38:47 (compared to 37:53 in 2016 and 35:47 in 2018) despite trying pretty hard on a sunny evening after heavy rain. Arrived 10 minutes before the start, so barely time to collect my number and change let alone warm up!
