Woke up to a sunny Sunday morning and with committments looming for the rest of the day chose a local out and back run keeping off road as much as possible. Through Christie, Argyle and Balloch Parks then out onto the Whinney Hill trail and back again, all in 9 or 10 miles and 1100' of ascent.
Good to see three of the Argyle football parks in use on the way. Steady pace into Balloch Park and up the Fairy Glen where I met a freshly summersaulted mountain biker in my way just where I wanted to leave the path, stopped for a minute to check he was ok, no helmet so lucky, we had a laugh and then I took off towards the WH trail. A few walkers out and about as well. Ran all the hills but kept it nice n easy.
The seat was already occupied when I got there and just kept going. Tried to keep the same relaxed effort on the easier run back, fine until the last mile or so, back on the tarmac just by coincidence. Finished in about 90 mins, 45 out and 44 back.
