Can anyone who goes on a hill run please drop me a short email just so we can get some postings on the blog. I am still not fit enough to get to the hills myself yet.

The Sunday Hill Runs have proved quite popular over the past 5 – 6 weeks and these will continue to be a regular feature on the club’s training and social scene. As mentioned in the current club training schedule the weekend sessions will hopefully compliment the Tuesday and Thursday sessions with discipline specific activities progressively working towards declared race goals.

Well done to all Hillbillies who braved the trying conditions (both on the hills and on Scotland’s roads) over the last two weekends to take part in Devil’s Beeftub and Merrick. The rest of us not in the peak of condition (speaking for myself you understand) or those just looking for a wee fling in the local hills have enjoyed the delights of East Lomond and Norman’s Law.

Weekend Hill Runs
This month sees the busiest time in our Hill Running Grand Prix with 3 of the 5 remaining races taking place on 3 consecutive weekends (blame SHR not me!). Event No. 9 the Devils Beeftub takes place next Saturday (9th) near Moffat, Event No. 10 Merrick Hill Race is on Saturday 15th at Glentrool near Newton Stuart and Event No. 11 Morven Hill Race takes place the following Saturday (22nd) at Dinnet near Aboyne. Obviously our Hillbillies will be out in force building their championship totals but for those of you who haven’t quite got the bug yet but want to try out the hills then why not join us on our weekend hill running sessions? You may have taken part in the Club Hill race last weekend or wished that you had once you heard the buzz from those that did! Here’s your chance!!

Yesterday 11 Hillbillies and our trusty dog headed up the Tillicoultry Glen to do a recce of the Maddy Moss Race route. It was good to see so many out on the hill on what was a fantastic evening with great views all around. Everyone got up and down OK. Gregor(9) and Cameron(12) Campbell enjoyed their first Hill run taking a slight short cut by missing the last peak and still finishing with the main group.
Event No. 5 in this year’s Club Hill Running Grand Prix the Dollar North Cape hill race takes place one week on Saturday, 7th July 2007 at 2pm. The Hillbillies are therefore planning a recce of the race route this Sunday, 1st July 2007. So if you fancy reminding yourself how good it is to get out on the hills or if you fancy trying the race for the first time and would like an idea of what you would be letting yourself in for, then come along.The pace will be easy with plenty of stops to regroup and it is anticipated that we should cover the 9 mile route that ascends 3000 feet in around 2 – 2.5 hours.
We plan to meet at the back of Dollar Academy at the start of Dollar Glen

Hello all, hope the running’s going well, just back from a great weekend on the west coast and having been back up on the Skye ridge, I am feeling full of enthusiasm for some long hill runs-I have just printed off my entry form for the Ochills 2000’s and I am looking for some training buddies over the next few months-in fact is anyone up for a wee recce in the Ochills this sunday morning?
