Now that I have ‘retired’ from my swimming teaching on a Saturday morning I can venture further afield on a Saturday for my longer run. I always enjoy getting out on the Kilpatrick Hills since Marco took me round his 18 mile loop a few years ago.

Cammie was keen to join me so he picked up just before 7am and we were running by 7.20am. It was a lovely clear sunny morning but quite cold on the tops due to the Easterly wind.

Ready for today’s run

I had the route on my watch so it was easy to follow.  We went round the route clockwise.

I’m glad I took my gloves as it was cold over the tops. We had a great day out and we both enjoyed the run and the chat. Here are a few photos of our run.

Lots of great tracks to run on

We are heading for these hills

Thanks to Cammie for your company. I really enjoyed our run together.
