The last week before the clocks go back and on queue summer well and
truly arrived in terms of the glorious weather, it was also a great excuse to
get out and run some of our favourite training routes. Some of our jogscotland
group are training for the Tom Scott 10 miler in a few weeks time so we decided to
up the mileage of our main lunchtime run on Thursday to 6 miles. So in glorious
sunshine we headed up towards Braids Hill and some cracking views of Edinburgh. It was so much
fun that on Friday we managed to squeeze in a 7 miler. Not ideal preparation
for Strathclyde parkrun’s 100th event. Undaunted we headed off to
Strathclyde park on Saturday morning to run the milestone event. Unusually we
both had a chance to run this one, so I was going to make the most of it –
wardrobe considerations had me running my freedom run ahead of the main event in a
Killie top, well I couldn’t pass up the opportunity for a bit of a celebration.
The 100th Strathclyde parkrun was to be a
personal best parkrun for me although still fell short of my 5K PB but I am
getting closer again. There was a record turn-out on Saturday – even fellow
Killie Supporter JammyHenshite was there to run the 100th event. The conditions must
have been perfect as there were 73 PBs recorded. All in all a quiet week in the
MoJo diary.
