We've got the key of the door-never done 21 before!!

Back down to 3 this week, as Carolyn's injury prevented her from joining us. :-(

We opted to return to the Falkirk wheel for our flat route to Airth, with a wee detour to take us up to 21 miles for our furthest training run so far!!!

Jim must have wet the bed or he was just excited to get the captains armband!! The plan was to pick Sean up at 7.30am, however he turned up 15 minutes earlier and Sean was still in his dressing gown!!!!

Jim had even had a new style eagle eyed action man haircut, specially for the occasion!!!

Weather was milder and dry, although at times the wind was strong and in our face.

We decided to run at a steady 9 minute mile pace and as such this made the run much more sociable than in recent weeks with everyone staying together until the 14 mile mark.  No major topics of conversation, although Jim did mention something about his helmet!!!

A wee  (little and indeed urine!)  stop at the petrol station marked our half way point.  Sandra even had to pee in the dark!!

As usual the mood changed on the way back-social on the way out always seems to turn into serious on the way back! We stayed together up to 14 miles, until Sean spotted another runner and used them as a wee rabbit to chase!! Once past he was off!!! Finishing in a respectable 8:49 average.

Jim and Sandra pushed on strongly and finished in 9 minute pace!! A great effort by the whole team!!

We should all be incredibly proud of our progress, although we did look disabled when walking across the car park at the Boathouse!!

The only down point of the day was, that due to a misunderstanding Carolyn didn't join us for breakfast! Turning the corner Sean expected to see her sat in the car park, however no one had confirmed what time we would be there and as such she had breakfast alone at home :-(

The team feels like we are rolling along without our 4th wheel without her but hopefully her injury will ease soon and we will get her back!!
