"Flying" is a bit of an exaggeration, but I felt great - this is the furthest I've run since the Edinburgh Marathon 2009, by a fair distance (about 7 miles). Had two gels, one at 10 miles and the other at 18, but nothing else (gels were isotonic). Pace was pretty even with a slight dip at 17-18 miles, but as I started heading towards home it picked up a bit. I even tried to have a bit of fun with the Garmin and attempted to draw a penis on the map in Bellahouston Park, which almost worked!
Average pace of 8:50/mi which translates to a marathon of 3:51:36, which feels great - ideally I'm aiming for 3:30 in Edinburgh in May, and with 4 months to go I'm feeling pretty confident

Once again a wee bit shorter than I'd got with google earth, but by less than 0.2 mi, so it's all good

First run with a shiny new Garmin! http://connect.garmin.com/activity/65014644
Went a route that I do fairly often to see how accurate my previous distancing efforts with Google Earth were - I'd (optimistically as it turns out) had this at about 9.1 miles, but the difference is so small that I'm not going to worry about it for past records or anything. Loving it so far, I'm pretty sure this'll be a fairly high mileage week to get round all my frequent routes to see how far they really are

Easy run with a bit of a last minute increase in pace in a failed attempt to get under 50 minutes - overestimated how long my street is!

Tried not to hang about too much... not a tempo run but could probably be described as a threshold.

Came back from the last run today to find a missed call from another mate who runs, asking if I fancied an off road run near his flat. Ran to his (2.79 mi), did the off-road loop (3.67 mi) and ran home again (another 2.79 mi).
Pretty big distances for me in the last week or so but feeling great other than slightly tight calves. If it ain't broke...

LSR that vaguely followed the Great Scottish Run half marathon course. Snow on the ground made it pretty hard going, the notion of getting back home to warmth and something to eat meant it wasn't as slow as it perhaps should have been, my calves started to feel a bit tight after about an hour

Fairly flat run to ease off the legs after yesterday. Still a bit of ice kicking about, but not enough to make a significant impact. Looking forward to when it's all gone properly though!
