Loch Ness

Fancy the Loch Ness Marathon this year. Profile looks good. Got until May to decide. Think I'm on for it.

It's a Dog's Life !!!

I don't often recommend the Daily Mail but the attached article makes interesting reading. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1165856/Great-Dane-wins-right-jump-joggers-owner-cleared-15-000-damages.html

Missed By a Mile - well several hundred yards anyway !!!

My campaign to break 42.00 in a 10k continues after a dissapointing 42.36 at the Jim Dingwall 10k in Grangemouth. 19" slower than last year. Thought I was on for it but slowed significantly between 5 and 6 miles -- 7.07-- and that's what cost me the result. Tactically I ran the first mile too fast at 6.24 but pulled back and was bang on target at 5k, still pretty much on target at 5 miles but I suspect the fast start took its toll. Anecdotal impression is that most folks times were down on what they expected. It was also pretty windy but I think it was the pacing mistake at the start which cost me the result. Having said that is is still the bext 10k so far this year -- indeed the best result I have had at that distance since the same time last year. Onward and upward !!!!!
