A little update

Well it has been a month since I posted and I thought that it was about time I did.  So what has been happening.  Well after Cairn was born I was on two weeks paternity.  Apart from getting to know my wee boy I also did some runs.  One of them was an excellent 30 miler with John Kynaston but I also managed to get out myself one morning.  For this run I decided to video it and so here it is. I ran on the 6th February





Back to training in a whole. It has been a slow progress but my endurance is slowly increasing. My speed isn't but this year I am trying to limit my races and focus on my ultras. On a plus point it can't be all bad as I have just heard that I came in joint second in the Garscube Cross Country League.

Focussing on ultras? Wuthering Hike again? (I suspect not if Debbie's report on the experience last year is anything to go by )

:-)

Brian - No Wuthering Hike this year. I am not doing a lot of races. A half marathon in 2 weeks, then the fling and then the WHW. That is all I have planned at the moment.
Zimmerman - Yes it was a lovely day. Made all the better that everyone was working.
Davie - I thought I looked quite fetching in my WHW buff.... plus it was bloody freezing... or maybe I am becoming a big girls blouse!!!

You neglected to mention that you got up at 4am, so your run didn't mess with quality family time...then came home and spent the afternoon sleeping :-)

Glad you didn't come home in that ensemble though. I would have thought we were being robbed! :-)

Great video. Very Blair Witch Project.

Ps: Don't ever mock me for the runners snotters again.

Marco, great little video, but I cannot help it you look very tired. Very, very tired in deed.
Even the ecstatic comments about the great scenery are rather delirious...
Well getting up at 4:00 I would be able to run at all... but if you sleep all afternoon not a surprise you got up at 4 is it ;-)
Looking forward to seeing you Sunday!

Only just realised you did this! Impressive. Are you going to do it for the race? I found doing mine gave me something to think about along the way.

BTW what programme do you use to put it together?
