The Mrs. and I headed up to Scotland this past weekend for the Helensburgh 10km followed by a nice long weekend exploring the Low Lands. First off, I’m proud to say that the results are in (PDF), and that we both killed our targets!
- Jen was shooting for an hour but finished in 55:09, an 8:52 minute/mile &
- I was targeting 52 minutes but finished in 48:52 a 7:52 minute/mile.
All in all, good stuff.
Speaking of running, I’ve just passed my 3 months training mark and it feels good to have been keeping this up for that long. Here’s those past 3 months by the numbers, as tracked by the elegant and excellent Runner’s Log.app.

We just got back from a nice long weekend in Scotland and were suddenly craving a Memorial Day picnic. Decided to stop on the way home to pick up the necessary provisions and a new Weber grill. Everything turned out delicious!
