Broomhill Loop - 5.7km - 43min 55sec

A very slow run by virtue of the fact that we had to run all the way UP crow road first. The sun was boiling and Adam had a few crampy moments which lead to a couple of walks. Despite it being slow it was still a major achievement in that the length of time we spent running was fairly long and we are still over the 5km distance now with some varied terrain.

West End Loop - 6km - 38min 57sec

A goos run from the point of view that we started off with Isla who pummeled us into the ground for the first 3km and then left us as dribbling wrecks for the remainder of the run. Surprisingly we made it but it felt rather difficult having such a quick start.

West End Loop - 10km - 1 hour 8 mins 47sec

I just wanted to see if I could do this without stopping and I was quite pleased to see that I could. However, the time was dreadful as I was hardly moving but I suppose the important thing is that I made it.

West End Loop - 6km - 38min 4sec

No internet in the flat means no updates on this site. Sorry.

Did this run today with Adam and Isla. She runs far too quickly for us and I found it really hard to keep up. It was unfortunate as it made the run miserable and tough on both Adam and myself. None the less we made it round without stopping and I even managed to throw in some Fartlek on some of the hills. I didn't enjoy those that much but I can see how it would make you a faster runner.

Soon we'll try 7km and then 8km. By July we should be doing the 10km distance regularly... hopefully.
