9 miles hard

The club's Thursday session wasn't listed on the web site and turned out to be a choice between 6 and 9 miles. Most of the faster packs went for the longer run. I had driven up as Natasha wanted to come to Thursday training for once. The longer route was up Rannoch Drive, over Mosshead Road and down Drymen Road, along Station Road and over Pendicle Road, then along Canniesburn Road to Blairdardie and back to Garscube Estate via Great Western Road and Bearsden Road, finishing at the bridge for exactly 9 miles. The fast pack consisted of three to begin with and held together until Blairdardie, where we joined up with the previous pack and a couple of them tagged on, although we were down to four shortly afterwards, then three at Anniesland Cross. Finished in 56:10 for a 6:14/mile average.
