Notes
First Run in 2009. A very much mixed run. Something between mainly Road Running & Cross Country Running & Fell Running in the Scottish fields and hills around Springholm. This was an entire new course I have never run before and was hoping that the route would take us round to a full loop through the fields. Unfortunately we were put to the test as we came across soggy grounds in the fields and a small burn which we could not easily cross so had to return back the way we came. Just sheep and us running in the wilds. No cars and no other people around. Beautiful feeling although Franc felt tired through the entire run so I had the lead but easy as my hamstring was tricky at times but not bad at all. It was freezing weather and at some point I felt warm and also cold when slowed down in speed in the fields. I run strong and put some considerable effort as I was a bit tired too but not as bad as Frankie. My laps were:- 9.46/9.05,9.36, 11.41,14.22, 11.37,9.24, 9.27, 8.20, 7.07. Speed was not the aim but I was delighted to be able to run a fast second last mile and also even faster the remainder of the course without my hamstring bothering me. GREAT START & HAPPY RUNNING FOR 2009. GREAT TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO RUN WITH FRANC ON THIS DAY. TOO MANY MORE HAPPY RUNS!!!!!
