Glasgow Parkrun - 5km - 19:44 - 2nd (87 runners)
Warm-up 24mins, cool-down 2mins+
Cross-country course covered in snow and with very tight turns.
Stayed in second place from gun to tape.
I had severe breathing difficulties for the first 3km, better afterwards - after the race I could taste blood and had trouble breathing normally (at night had a nose bleed).
With first gone and steadily increasing the distance to third I just made sure I ran well.
Tough course, great workout.
I believe that was equivalent to a sub 17:40 (yes, that much of a difference) on a flat, tarmac course.
1st - 17:42
2nd - 19:44
3rd - 20:44

Going for a what-will-come-out-of-this? run.
With about 4km gone met Monteiro - he's training for the Seville Marathon.
He was going to do 5x640m at a "good pace".
After 39 minutes we did the reps (then another 13mins alone after that):
2:28; 2:30; 2:23; 2:24; 2:16
Recovery - running very slowly. Avg: 1:41
Legs a bit heavy but nothing major.

Goal - 15 to 20 hills- sub 34secs average. Very slippery in places due to being wet and to fallen, squashed little fruits

Working hard all the way though never all out.
Very slippery under those fruit trees 
Halfway through the 15th, feeling a bit lethargic, I told myself that it would end there if I would go under 32secs...  Talk about motivation!

The goal was to run at 3:30 equivalent effort (it was windy and it included ups and downs).
3:28.0
3:39.1
3:10.7
The first one was on gravel, gentle downhills and flat, second mixed gravel/tarmac with some uphills and wind and the third totally flat on tarmac with 400m into a "good" wind.
I felt the best on the third!
Very surprised and happy with the 3:10
Recovery average: 4:48
