In the afternoon I ran up Baird's Brae and followed the canal to Farm Bridge, heading back the same way but joining Maryhill Road at the fire station. Wore the Merrell Trail Glove and concentrated on bringing my average mile pace below 6:45 after the initial climb gave me a relatively slow first mile. 10.03 miles in 1:07:23, average pace 6:43/mile, HR 144.
