9 miles and some change 
Trying out some route changes. Canal is so boring, I extended run east around Pinkson Lochs and up to Sighthill.
Ran through a park which looked like a set from Mad Max - a football pitch with (I counted) 6 burnt out cars, 2 of them on their side forming a barricade (and half a shopping trolley lol) 
Itās in close proximity to Possil so you knowā¦
May go for more explorings. Bloody miserable day tho

Doha half marathon this morning. 1h 30 was the original aim, but I havenāt done the training to deserve that & legs said no from the start.
Gritted it out for 1h36, the chimp was telling me to drop out at halfway but I ignored him & suffered on for another 10.5km, kind of glad I did now from the vantage point of a hot bath & with a coffee in hand.
Back to the drawing board I guess.
There were prizes for the AGs, 1h30 would have been good enough for the M50 
, just about. Maybe next yearā¦

Last 300m was misery
Lap button pressed every 200m so slight difference between total time and moving time (15:08)

Satisfying amount of grit shown there @fruit_thief. Looking at your Strava you knew you were in for a long day after the 6th k so those last 15 were character building.

@fruit_thief - i just wanted to sneak in under 1.30
Also @fruit_thief thief - sets off at sub 1.25 pace! 
Nicely hung in though buddy. The flat, flat courses can be a real pain in the legs i always find. They tend to just lock into position which makes the slow down even more painful when you do hit it.
Nice chilled day now then!?

Forgotten how much i enjoy an early morning training session.
Got out pre-dawn with a mate, and now feeling much more relaxed at my desk for a day of work.
Ran just over 25kms with 288m elevation. Nice little route. Steady effort just catching up with my buddy and watching nature wake up for the day. Cracking weather this morning as well.

Most of you know that I didnāt ride for four months or so due to a bad wrist.
I have been deeply struggling to get back, but finally itās beginning to come together. Managed 20 miles this morning without my wrist being on fire afterwards.
Small beer I know, but this feels like a real milestone. Bringing the mileage up very slowly to try to avoid going backwards.
Planning to do one of the Black Rat sportives in May, so my current goal is to get in good enough shape for the longest one, with the contingency of bailing on to one of the short ones.
