Long run today to give a recovery day before Bishop Hill on Sunday. Arrived home from work torrential rain/wind, perfect for a run. Looking for about 15 miles and set off on an anti clockwise loop with probably Boturich to get towards 15 miles.
Felt easy on the way out despite running Monday, Tuesday (swim Wed) & Thursday. Wind blew me up the first hill, payback would come later. Turned at the tee junction and the wind soon took my hat away, at least it meant a wee rest getting it back. Passed the turn offs to Gartocharn and straight into the wind, almost came to a halt even though its downhill. Worse to come, running into the wind and uphill, luckily no one saw me.
Took a right at Ballagan much nicer with the wind and rain behind. Turned past the water works onto the Boturich track and hit the wind again as you come out the trees at the top. Mostly down hill from now, so kept a steady pace going and cut into the back of Balloch Park staying within trees and shelter.
Ran home through Argyll and Christie Parks along the way, nearly 15 miles in 2 hours 15 mins+.
