In the morning I ran as far as Kelvinbridge with Natasha and continued back home myself via the reverse of my usual West End route. Distance came out at 3.3 miles, time 25:32 for a 7:44/mile average, HR 133.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 8:27 (123), 7:41 (134), 7:17 (139), 7:01 (142)

In the afternoon, to take me over 55 miles for the week, I ran one of my longer routes, along Great Western Road, over the canal at Blairdardie, and back via Canniesburn Road and Maryhill Road. I was just running it for the miles rather than a route PB attempt but I reached Drumchapel Road comfortably inside 30 minutes, which was certainly on schedule but I couldn't remember what my route PB actually was. In any case I was now running into a slight headwind on a predominantly uphill part of the course and had no chance of breaking the hour barrier, so I didn't push it until a few miles further on when I decided to try to be inside the hour at the 9-mile point. Despite having my rhythm broken at Bilsland Drive I made it with a few seconds to spare and completed the 9.32 miles in 1:01:33, which turned out to be a minute faster than my previous route PB from December 2008. Average pace was 6:36/mile, HR 152.
Pace splits (ave. HR): 7:00 (135), 6:34 (145), 6:33 (147), 6:36 (150), 6:57 (155), 6:32 (155), 6:34 (158), 6:23 (159), 6:26 (160), 6:04 (164)
HR zones: 1.1%, 6.6%, 75.6%, 16.8%, 0%
