Tuesday November 30th 2010

Due to the rather inclement weather I am cancelling tomorrow nights session, the chances that the pavements are runnable are slim I think! Re the jingle Bells run we are still planning t go ahead even if we have to walk it in wellies. Any donations of Christmas Fare will be gratefully received and shared out accordingly......

Jingle Bells Route

As Thursday was so dire I went out on Friday to run round the planned Jingle bells route and the weather was....just as bad!! It is muddy and puddly so not your best crisp white trainers but it is very nice along the shore even when you cannot appreciate its full beauty because of driving rain and sleet.... honest!! Lollipop shaped route with the start very close to the finish...I shall have to do a bit of fine tuning with the position of start and finish but getting there!!

Brrrrr.......

First really chilly one of the winter tonight with (I am sure)  minus temperatures which kept us moving along with some sprints, pyramids and circuits to get those core muscles sorted!!  Well done all who braved the cold dark starry skies!

PS If anyone knows a likely marshal or two for the 5th please let me know!!

Tin Farm 5

For a change the skies were clear this morning  which boded well for another good race at Ormsary over hills, along the shore and pounding the sand and cow fields! It was great to see Kerry again, and Liz and Fiona too joining the Corners at this event. Rosie was in her first adult race and feeling the nerves as the starting horn went. A couple of drips of icy rain came to nothing and although very cold along the first stretch the big hill warmed us up before we plunged into puddles and mud galore. Thoughtfully the organisers plunged us into a small fast flowing river to wash trainers before as we sped down the hill and towards a short beach stretch and then up a short rise to the finish. Liz triumphed as second female veteran, Toby came an excellent 6th over all and third male junior in a very hotly contested category, Rosie fought her was to first female junior with Mum as pacer and Garret finished 20th overall and 11th in category. Kerry was 5th in category and  36th overall (and she wasn't even trying!!)

Times

• Toby 36.04
• Garret 41.11
• Kerry 45.24
• Liz  45.30
• Rosie 49.04
• Fee 49.05
• Fiona 59.04

WELL DONE ALL!!

How lucky were we!!

On a day of thunder, lightning, torrential rain, hail and the rest I think we were pretty lucky tonight! I was just out of Inveraray homeward bound when the heavens opened for the umpteenth time and drenched the roads...Lucky!! Well done everyone tonight lots of hard work right up to the end. The map below does not seem to fully capture those skips, step ups, squats and boxing....but you can definitely see the laps round the oval! Good work out!    
Fiona...look after that sore calf!!! Good luck to everyone doing the TF5 on Sunday.
