Highland Perthshire Marathon Race Report

We travelled up to Pitlochry a few Fridays ago so I could run the Highland Perthshire Marathon as a training run for my target Marathon in Loch Ness this coming weekend. My schedule had me down to run a 20 mile training run that weekend so my goal from the race was simply to get a good long slow run in without worrying too much about my finishing time. As the course was two laps of a Half Marathon course I planned to take the first lap steady and see what I had left for the second and ease off if needed.

From last winter. It's amazing what you can find to entertain three children on a cold weekend morning!

I'm planning an attempt on the alphabet for this winter....

"One Born Every Minute" programme review

I need to preface this post by saying that programmes about childbirth are not normally my preferred viewing, but I'd heard so much pre-broadcast chat amongst our friends in the multiple families community about last night's "One Born Every Minute" special on twins and triplets on Channel 4 that I had to watch, and I'm glad I did as it was a very heart-warming programme that dealt skilfully with the realities of a multiple birth and had Tess and I reliving our own experiences of when our three were born 7 years ago.
