We had a full complement on the mid-paced club training run last night and only two remainers from the previous week. Did I put them all off? I’d been out the night before to recce a new route and had a last-minute change to my planned path by, you’ve guessed it, cows. A big Highland one was staring at me as I approached it. Sizing me up. Wondering if I’d have him/her killed early by selling my story to the press. Anyway, it actually made for a nice route up to Allermuir along the fence line and when we ran it last night it was perfect running conditions. We joined briefly with the faster group at the summit and for a while it was like old times, meeting on Allermuir in the lovely pre-autumn gloaming
Next week’s sign-up sheet available now. Number of places increased but we don’t yet know if the latest restriction will affect outdoor training. Let’s hope not.
