Working up a thirst.

Cody took part in the Aquathon at the Allander today. He did really well coming 3rd in his age group...considering he was second last out of the pool!! Another great event organised by Jude on behalf of the Glasgow Tri club

If we could just get his swimming up to scratch!

I ran at 10:45 with Colin who is keen to start upping his miles! It was a good day, quite warm and the sun shone a little.

We ran out towards the Erskine Bridge then cut in through a passageway that appeared before us enticing us to be adventurous. Turned out to be a cut through Dalmuir Golf course. We followed our noses till we hit the canal in Clydebank, recognising sections of the Balloch - Clydebank half. We then followed the canal, picked up the kelvin and headed towards the park.

The goal distance was 13m but we reached this distance before even getting to the Kelvin grove park. We were heading into the St Enoch area to pick up Colin's car that had been abandoned the night before!

We ran on till 14 miles which was well into the park then we walked/jogged/warmed down our way into the city centre.






We popped into the above named spot to book a table (birthday tea for C's wife Val next week) and got a water refill at the same time. How we both wanted our water bottles filled with beer!!
Made me wonder 'when did I stop carrying just in case £ with me?' (true that it was 'just in case I need a taxi' NOT beer!)

Did the 14 at a chatting pace then another 1.5m warming down (and longing for a beer!)

14m-2:00

Hey, it sounds like you earned a well deserved beer! But maybe that will come two weeks from now when your marathon is behind you!
