As I was determined to stay under 30miles this week I went to Brodie Park to do an easy session round and and round the park. I have a figure of eight route which is just over a mile and takes in two uphills and two downhills each loop.
To make it a bit more varied I have four different options on the same route. If you imgaine the number 8 with two circles then I have four options, clockwise for both, anticlockwise for both and alternate. Make sense??
Anyway it was very frosty and lovely to get out and go for an easy run. The ground was perfect for running being firm but not too icy and slippy. So mission accommplished this week.
My plan for the next two weeks is to run 55-60miles of good hard running, then a medium week of 35-40 miles, then the week of the race an easy couple of runs.
Congratulations to all thse who ran the National Cross Country at Falkirk yesterday. Kilbarchan did well. I've put some photos on our club web site.
Ian ran for the 17th time out of the last 19 years and used his blog to encourage/challenge/bully other whw family to join him next year. I've done it once a couple of years and would do it again but with my swimming teaching on a Saturday it's difficult to take another Saturday off (as well as the Saturdays for ultras). I feel like I should send Ian a note from my mum to get permission to miss it?!?

Ha ha John, permission to miss the national xc granted! Good for you having a planned easy week - I think most of us could do with that from time to time, but in many ways it is easier to just keep bashing out the miles till we grind to a halt...
