Zorba Feb 2013 10:57am, 10 Feb 2013 703 posts	Quote Pin Zorba !8 49 at Strathclyde Parkrun ! Benign weather ( cold , damp but calm ) and good conditions underfoot . Influx of decent runners , perhaps because of the temporary closure of Falkirk so a few people to chase ....Delighted !

Zorba Feb 2013 2:01pm, 13 Feb 2013 704 posts	Quote Pin Zorba You're getting close again , , Bazoaxe.......How is the wind at Edinburgh just now ?
Bazoaxe Feb 2013 8:47pm, 13 Feb 2013 5,101 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe The wind tonight its horrific. up til yesterday was fine. I switched my MP run to do it last night as I could see it was going to be rough for a few days. I do expect to go sub 19 in the next couple of attempts if I get a calm day.

Bazoaxe Feb 2013 1:29pm, 16 Feb 2013 5,111 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Well done Zorba I avoided the temptation to have a bash today, even though weather looked perfect. I chose instead to stick to my plan which is a 2 week cycle and includes the types of running I like, Today was a tough 6 mile cross country. I hope that the variety in my running will see a strong performance at Parkrun next week.
Zorba Feb 2013 1:39pm, 16 Feb 2013 717 posts	Quote Pin Zorba Good luck , Bazoaxe......A 3k race for me on Friday and then the following Saturday I hope to do either the hilly , but competitive , Glasgow Uni 5 or the fast Cupar 5 ......Any thoughts ?
Bazoaxe Feb 2013 1:42pm, 16 Feb 2013 5,115 posts	Quote Pin Bazoaxe Depends on what you are after.....if a fast time/PB then Cupar, if you want some extra training benefit then the hilly race may be better...and could still deliver a PB (saying this not having checked what your PB actually is)
Zorba Feb 2013 1:46pm, 16 Feb 2013 718 posts	Quote Pin Zorba Yeah...Glasgow certainly more convenient for me , and more familiar runners to race , so that might be the option ( fitness permitting ,always )
