Cove_Sheep Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Thought it might be an idea to kick off a new thread for the new year. Kick started today for a few of us in Aberdeen with a double parkrun. The beach was a bit tough today, with the sand levels on the proms being crazy in parts. Tomorrow sees the first 10km race of the year again, at Lumphanan. Currently also signed up for: National XC in Falkik Inverness Half Marathon Manchester Marathon Berlin Marathon Will also be adding a few other 10k's and halfs over the year. Really looking forward to it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Back into the running properly now, wasn't really able to do anything much from September until late November. I'm signed up for a couple of half marathons in Spain, plus the Devilla Forest, and also a couple of Cross-Country things. Parkrun later this morning.

Cove_Sheep Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Disappointed at the 3k on Friday, but my legs felt like lead all the way round. Much happier with my solo run round the Baker Hughes 10k route this afternoon though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny's Yard Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Been without a local parkrun for going on two and a half years but as of yesterday there is now one near where I live. Such a great concept and I am going to being either running or helping out whenever I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamia Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Just as well you had the social on a Saturday night rather than a Friday! That would just be a schoolboy error Wasn't great idea for my long Sunday run though Edited January 10, 2016 by Lamia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
College_Boy Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Getting back onto training after 2 months of faffing. County Champs X-C on Saturday (not as muddy as I was expecting) followed by 3 hours in the hills on Sunday (slippier than expected and almost made a right tit of myself descending one hill right in front of a large group of walkers!) A bit of stretching last night and the legs don't feel as bad as I thought they might. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart_Aberdeen Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Already ran 19km more than I did last January. Hopefully means the marathon training will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart_Aberdeen Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Was down in Glasgow last week so went for a run that took in Barrowlands, Celtic Park, Shawfield, Hampden, Cathkin, Ibrox and the Louden Tavern. Just under 12 miles but passed a bit quicker with the sightseeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot scotland scottish Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I'm considering entering the Inverness Half Marathon - but would prefer to wait a few weeks yet. Does anyone know if it typically sells out? (and thus should I just bite the bullet and get entered now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
