Saturday Jul 12

Terrain Run 1:08:00 [4]
Needed to go to Grantown to decorate and garden so drove up to Revack and went for a tough, hilly terrain run. Managed to do a full loop of the forest going all the way to the top fell. Lots of wildlife, including two red kites that were swooping far too close for comfort and making a racket (I must have been pretty near their nest). Grouting and floor tiling.

Thursday Jul 10

Run 50:00 [4]
Run and grub from the Longhursts.
I turned up having forgot my trainers so Beccy kindly let me bezz it back home in her car. Set off hard to catch the group who had left 5 minutes in front. It didn't take long but then Louise sent the fast boys off on an extra loop and I had to join them.
Therefore the run was more a tempo run for me than any other type.

Pub quiz after (we won!), thanks to Jon & Rosco - the rest of us were just blondes. Good banter as always.

Wednesday Jul 9

Run 46:00 [4]
Visiting Jamie Stevenson.
THE Jamie, not the other, foreign one.
Chatted about his last trip and next trip to Scandinavia and went for a tempo (for me) run round some golf courses and Torwood Wood - this area should be mapped!
Good banter.

Tuesday Jul 8

Run 45:00 [3]
weight:31.8kg
Had to get out from home, despite the thunderstorm.
It was really nice running in the rain actually - up to the monument and Gathering stone then through long grassy paths back home, trying to avoid the padlocked gate. Great to be out but I felt fat and slow (Brad proved that I was with his scales later - ours have gone 3 kilos out!).
Bum.
C • 3 Kilos out 11

Monday Jul 7

Note
(rest day)
Up by 7:45 after the banquet!
Spent the day travelling fairly leisurely home - back at 8:30pm.
Does lugging 15Kg main bag, 10Kg Rucsac and 15Kg physio table class as strength training? Left shoulder stuffed!

Sunday Jul 6

Orienteering race 44:46 [5]
JWOC Coachs' race.
Following on from an exciting morning with the juniors we mass started just after the prize giving. The real elites run the men's course, the real coaches run the women's course (and I'm at least the real shape to be a real coach!).
Gareth and Lars (Denmark) hared off from the start and on the first hill climb I realised I didn't have the fitness to even try to keep up so decided to run my own race and work for my usual goal (beat the best JWOC woman's time). I ran cleanly round what I thought was a nice, but tough, course (nearly fell asleep on the long leg) and finished on the same minute as the fast girl (by 2 mins) - Jenny Lonqvist. Lars finished in front but don't know what time he took. It turns out Gareth broke his compass on the way to 3 and struggled thereafter, don't know when I passed him.
C • I can remember a spring cup... 2
Football 40:00 [4]
GBR v Poland and Switzerland?
Got taken out by Doug Doug at one point. Lots of spriniting and throwing myself about. Sore the next day!

NB: All athletes survived the banquet without incident (but had lots of fun) I am very proud of them all.
