Ah, the blog. Must really remember to feed this thing more often.

Back in May I started running. Some friends I know through BMF were running in the Edinburgh 10K. I thought "They're about the same level of fitness as me. I could be doing that." So I looked for the next 10K near by, and found the Forth Road Bridge 10K. I can see the bridge from my kitchen window. So I signed up and started running. I might talk about that another time. Another race got shoe-horned in before that one.

My next race is up tomorrow night. This will be my fourth race. It is the Graham Clark 3.9 Mile Memorial Race at Knockhill Racing Circuit. I'm hoping for a time below 30 minutes.

I certainly hope to place better than I did on Saturday at the Cloybank 6K Trail Race at Cloybank Estate. Coming 23rd sounds good, but there were only 23 runners. Someone has to be last, and on Saturday, it was my turn. I was just happy to have finished. I was even happy with my time and pace. 32:21 with a pace of 5:24/km. And by place better, I mean, "not last".

That was a tough wee course.

Tomorrow's race starts at 19:30 and is three full laps of the Knockhill Circuit. The distance isn't a problem. 3.9 miles, 6.3km. Most of the training runs I've done have been further than that. Compared to Cloybank, this is a level course. I've also managed to con two of my friends that I run with into doing the race too, Shiona and Jenni. And I'm looking forward to the delicious gluten free carrot cake that Mel is making for the post-race feeding frenzy.

Actually, I think Mel is crazy. She ran in the Ochil's 2000 on Saturday. Over 20 miles across the Ochils range near Stirling. What worries me is that it might be catching.

Normally on a Tuesday at that time I'd be at rehearsal for DDS. Tomorrow we will be casting our next show, Twelfth Night. I'll find out what part(s) I'll be playing sometime after the race.
