| Believe it or not this was my first daylight O race since the 27 August. It was a lovely area, technically challenging towards the end. Everyone was doing the same course, with a short cut off option. There were two very long legs, which I did a fair amount of faffing on rather than following everyone ahead - you could see for miles. It was pretty rocky in places and managed to twist my ankle a few times but no ill effects. There's definitely something wrong with my knee and so a trip to the physio required... |
Friday Jan 18 |
| Run (Terrain) 32:25 [4] 4.5 km (7:12 / km) | |

| Friday morning tootle around Beecraigs in the drizzle... hey, this might become a habit - let's hope so. Had to make it short in order to get back for the gas man to fix the boiler, might get some hot water today. |
Thursday Jan 17 |
| Fitball (Core strength & stability) 30:00 [1] | |

| Hope that doing this will give me more strength to get up those hills. Will need to pump some air in for next time, it was a bit squashy. |
Wednesday Jan 16 |
| Pilates 45:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Bare feet |
| Only two in the class today! The instructor was very kind for the first class of the year to break us in gently. Noticed that my hamstrings were very tight. |
| Run (Terrain/Road) 59:12 [4] 8 km (7:24 / km) | |
| |
| Terrain, path and a bit of road run: round Uni up into Hermitage Woods, Mine Woods and back through Bridge of Allan. Bit slippy on the forest paths. This was a proper training run for me as I pushed faster than normal in an attempt to keep up (wish I could have). The hills just about killed me, I just didn't have enough energy, I think that having had lunch at 11 and a banana at 2 wasn't enough or maybe too big a gap, I felt starved! |
