I applied for a job recently which looked really good, but didn’t get an interview. We’ve got icy conditions here in Miltonduff. I’d run out of fresh veg & fruit and was defrosting the car this morning to try to head out. Two neighbours dissuaded me and one of their friends who had a 4x4 did a shop for a few of us.

I was at Falkirk last week which went ahead with minor course alterations and a slight lengthening. In the briefing, the RD advised that although there was no ice, some open sections might be a bit slippy so to be careful and "I don't want to see any heroes out there. No pbs, ok?" First finisher set a 1:06 pb In other Falkirk news, last Saturday of the month this year is to be pacer month. They have specifically written that they are are looking for runners who know the Falkirk course ie (my wording) if you are a tourist who thinks they can just turn up and bag a volunteer credit as well as a run, sling yer hook. As anyone who has run Falkirk knows, it's not a course for even pacing. And I've seen some quite rubbish attempts at pacing on it (by local club members!).
