Company on the run

Today was the Strathaven 50 cycle (and run!) race.  However as I was attending Ali's golf club championships I didn't have enough time to take part so I decided to sneak in a quick 9.5 mile run.  I've only run once in the last month and that was only 3 miles so stepping up the mileage on legs that has 59 miles of cycling in the day before was going to be tough.  I'm delighted to say I was happy with the pace although the last mile was sore and I think my left ham string is going to need some tlc over the next couple of days.  I cheered on the riders as they went past and I am sue some thought I was running in the race but that's not on my agenda for a few years yet, if ever.
So a good hard weekends training and next week will involve some swimming which will help loosen of my ham string, some cycling and two games of golf (business golf you understand)!  As for Ali he did reasonably well but had there being a prize for brightest golf outfit he'd have one it hands down as he looked like he'd been tangoed!
