The goal is now set (in stone!)

9 minutes ago entries for the Highland Fling.  A 53 mile ultra marathon starting north of Glasgow and finishing in Tyndrum.  It follows the West Highland Way and is a toughie.  Fortunately a number of the tartan army are getting together for the race but this time it won't be in the heat of the desert.  So my training plan is taking shape as the focus is firmly on.
Two good swimming sessions this week left me feeling good but knackered.  My swimming has improved in the last couple of months but I am going to go back to my coach for a check on my progress.  I know my technique requires work and I don't want to be practising poor technique!
On Saturday I went for a trail run with my 16 year old son.  He's an 800m runner but what an engine!  He got me a PB but again I felt it afterwards as he pushed me hard.  A sign that some speed work is required and certainly more regular running.  So I've contacted my ultra running pals so I can tag along with them on some of their longer runs.  Next season is just around the corner so let the serious training begin.
