Great to have beaten your personal target hs despite the wind! And despite the nuisance knee. Your training has served you well.
I enjoyed watching the route being shown/run on the NF Runners web site yesterday, a nice looking course and place to run.
Having a rest now?!

Brilliant result hs! Esp with the wind and as Steve said after your knee issue too. I expect you are very chuffed.
I had a fabulous weekend the event was well structured, informative and fun. The runs were hard we did Devils Staircase at night and it was heavy rain. I struggled as we got out the minibus and straight into an uphill, made worse as I had layered up and it was actually warm. Once I got into my stride though it was brilliant. Very Rocky underfoot so the feet took a strong ‘massage’ in vibrams.
Sunday was ascent/descent training so they took us on part of the Glencoe Skyrunning route which was a technical climb in torrential rain, again rocky / stone underfoot making me a bit nervous of slipping but I stayed upright.
Learning to use poles was Saturday morning and that was fun and with Nicky Spinks. I’ll be blogging about it all later.
Hope you all had a good weekend. I’ll be out with my friend to stretch our quads and hammy’s after breakfast. A

That sounds like a challenging couple of days gg. What a treat to have Nicky Spinks to run with, I love the film of her doing the Bob Graham Round record.
I did 5k this morning, trails were light enough of course after clock change; very damp even though mild and quite slippery with heavy leaf fall in places

Well done HS! Enjoy the what's left of your rest day.
Sounds like a great weekend GG, even though it rained. I saw pics on FB and it looked pretty wet.
I did my 50th Parkrun on Saturday, not as fast i would have liked but just sneaking in under 29 mins. Won't be running again till tomorrow, at work today
