WEDNESDAY 2ND (COACHING)

Set of from work just before 6pm to run to scotstoun running track, it wasnt to wet and the 6 miles passed quite quickly. Once id went inside 2 of the athletes i coach were warming up already, so it wasnt long before they started there session of 6 + 150m, with first 100 at 3/4 pace and then accelarate to full out, they managed the session well with the rest of the lap recovery jog. The weather at the end had turned bad so it was just a half mile warm down.
After a quick chat, i set off for the last 2 miles home for a hot shower. This weekend im off to my wifes parents house at law village so i will be taking my shoes and running the last 10 miles of the clyde stride then back to law village, i really did enjoy the last section of this race so looking forward to that. 

TUESDAY 1ST FEBRUARY

Ran home from work to spiers-warf 1 mile, then 5.2 miles along the forth and clyde canal home. In recent weeks iv been struggling to see where i was running at night along the canal so i was prepared with my headtorch and managed to miss most of the puddles on my way home.
Today we were given our new shift pattern in work so the good news was over the 6 week rota starting on march im working monday to thursday for the 5 weeks and 1 week of saturday (early 8am to 6pm) and sunday ( late 12noon till 9pm). So whats the bad news the weekend im working  my birthday, but good news is im off a long weekend before so hopefully get a few different runs done during the day.
Total miles ; 6.2 miles.
