With Pete over the top and down to the road and then with fin on the way back with a few strides

Munro adventure with fin and pete- from arrochar to beinn ime and then beinn narnain on the way back down. Great fun although we missed out on views at the top and beinn ime was muy treacherous black sheet ice so that was scary. Walked the steep ups and ran the flats and downs including a mad descent down the path where I rolled the ankle a belter. Good day out showing the others Argyll and bagged Fin’s first two Munro’s. I gaurentee “coastal scotland” OMM means Arrochar Alps- you heard it here first

Played tennis with iris and jogged home very slowly to try and stretch the legs before las montañas tomorrow with Pete and fin

Death by 12k tempo sounded like a great way to start the year. Needed to set a benchmark for this route 5k along road 7k on hill so I can compare through 2019 beyond.
Did the 5k in 1830 (3:42s) and the hill in 3858 (5:17s). Died a thousand deaths to be honest, hated every minute of the road and the first bit of hill was not nice at all with lactic in the legs. Things brightened up when the sun came up and I could see the paps and accidentally eased off a bit toward the end.
Ah well there’s definitely a lot of fitness to be gained in 2019. A lot to look forward to this year, gonna be 6 months of hard pushing to get out of Lochgilphead then happy days after exams hopefully

On the hill with mum. Easy with good views enjoyed it. Hopefully tempo on the hill tomorrow but will see after tonight...
