FVO Night Race at Little Druim Wood/Duncraggan planned by Trevor. A seriously tough race through mud and bog and marsh and bog and marsh and a few trees. Did I say bog? Thoroughly enjoyed the head to head with Brad (until he nodded off) and Fanni and battling over the tough ground. A really good hard workout. Maybe a little too hard for me just the now!

Recovery. Lovely day. Being sensible.

FVO Stretching & Strengthening. I'm always tired for this.

Some map and terrain training in Polmaise and Murray's Wood. Lovely underfoot conditions (if a little soggy) meant a nice circuit of Murrays Wood before a walk to the top of the crags and some downhill O back to the car. Body tired but enjoying being in the forest, some lovely features visited for the first time.

Big Brunch at Granddad's perked me up ;-)

Run down the Darn whilst the family walked. Down to B of A then up other side into the Triple Hills (Knock, Fort & Gallow) back across pipe bridge and up the rhody path to new path at top then through woods to top of golf course and back along eastern edge. Lovely! Climb is a guess.

Working, but too nice to not escape out. Birnam Hill loop. A bit surprised by the amount of snow (4-5 inches on north side) and so quite a shock to the system (temperature, gradient, underfoot conditions) but boy it was fun!

Family run off road at the Lagoon - last of the week! Hannah and Matthew have been brilliant attending morning gymnastics every day and running straight after - before doing other activities. Great week. Time to fly.
