 | Orienteering (Coaching) 40:00 [2] * 3 km (13:20 / km) | |
| shoes: Walsh |
| Junior training session, shadowing/coaching on line and Yellow courses at Barr Wood. Beautiful frosty but sunny day in lovely bits of the wood. Kids enjoyed themselves as well! |
Friday Jan 11 |
| Run long (Terrain) 1:20:12 [3] 11 km (7:17 / km) | |
| shoes: Walsh |
| Wobble joggle around Beecraigs and up over Cockleroy on the frosty, slipperytastic wee paths through the woods. Not as many trees down as expected after the gales but there were plenty of muddy bits to splash through - bit fffreezing. Lovely to get out in the daylight with some sunshine for a change. Only saw three people in the car park with their doggies oh, and three men in boats on the loch fishing. |

| Fitball (Core stability & strength) 30:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Bare feet |
| Got the fitball out of the cupboard for a spin. Should really have done more of this when I had my cold but wasn't in the mood then. Pilates should start up again on Wednesday, that should help... |
Wednesday Jan 9 |
| Night Orienteering race 49:00 [4] ** 5.2 km (9:25 / km) | |
| spiked:6/6c shoes: Saucony Triumph |
| Arrived too late for the start of Steve's Night Fumble (Forth Bridge fiasco trafific nightmare on the M9) so started from finish to #6, the leading pack of Ali B-J, Brad, Fraser and Dixie flew past on the way... almost got to #12 before deciding to get back to the finish as pub booked for 7.45pm. Felt good running but still pants on hills (and my tights were squint) - even the smallest pimples, hill reps are a must for me this winter! Well done to Steve for going out in that scary wind to put out the controls and to those who made it on time and big credits to go to the other late-comers who collected the controls. |
Sunday Jan 6 |
| Run 1:02:00 [3] 6 km (10:20 / km) | |
| shoes: Saucony Triumph |
| First run of the year! Shameful shuffle around Linlithgow Loch with the kids on their bikes. A lot of pushing of A required due to: bigger sized bike, mud and (wee) hills; I think my back is going to suffer tomorrow. Best bits on flat tarmac when I could just about keep up with the pace!
Very jealous of you lot getting out and about in the hills up North and orienteering and mountain biking and Callendar Crags, lucky devils! Oh well, at least my cold has gone and I've stripped the paper off the kitchen walls (not fun but strangely theraputic). |
