Warm sunny morning blessed the eight Circuiteers  who came along to the 4×10min Saturday morning session, heavily tempted to do the same session as last week I vowed I would never do……so I stuck to my guns and changed it slightly.

Session 1 Starting from the hard standing running anti clockwise down to the soft sand, at this time of the day the tide was right in  sharp left turn up the grassy hill to the wall round the cone then back to the sand sharp left again up to the grassy undulations round the signs then back up to the hard standing.

Session 2 the same course but in a clockwise motion.

Session 3, and probably the hardest. Anti-clockwise again the same course as session 1 however this time a cone was placed on the wall whereby the guys had to climb the hill then the wall to get round it!

Session 4, The course circle was shortened so there was no sand no hard standing just grass running in the clockwise rotation.

As you can see from the pictures the weather was great should have taken my leaflets down as the Car Park attendant was raking it in charging £1 per car the car park was that busy he started parking the cars on the grass above the beach and was still charging.

In the mornings when I go down there is no charge which is about 9.30am.

13 Miles Covered today

Plan was to get up to 20miles today but never made it:

Ran from the house up Queen Margaret Hospital, Townhill, Bowershall, Blairadam, Cleish Hills. Route below.

http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/gb/fife/805124292223182579

Started off tight on the hip joints and it’s a stiff climb up to the hospital, eased off during he climbs to Bowershall and felt a bit better heading up to the Kelty road enjoyed the undulating up to Loch Glow, didn’t enjoy the impact coming down the otherside, headed towards the M90 motorway felt I was getting low on calories this feeling continued until I couldn’t keep the legs turning stopped at the bottom of Kelty, just walked and jogged towards Cowdenbeath, Crossgates back my efforts finished at Kelty at the 13mile mark in 1:29:43 which averaged out 6.55min miles.

Eat half a horse when I got back in!
