Mini bus full of Millies set off just after 9 for this regular expedition to Eddies 1/2. Weather looked good but you never know with Fort William, turned out fine but a bit windy especially the last 2 or 3 miles which are pretty exposed.
Set off a bit quick as usual, 1st mile in 6 min 35 secs, target was 7:10 pace so eased back and on target after 4 miles in 28:30 odd - so probably running a bit slow at nearer 7:30 after the first mile, maintained pace to get to 8 miles in just over 58mins, worked reasonably well and kept it going over the next couple of miles then after 10 miles the pace slowed with the usual confrontation between discomfort and a better time, discomfort gaining the upper hand going backwards as the pace dropped to around 8 min miles and a finish in 1:38.
Usual entertaining drive back to the Vale where I was attacked by a rocket which got stuck in the launch tube, fireworks are dangerous.
