After some good racing yesterday myself and Stuart headed to the Ayrshire Athletics Arena for the Ruby's 5k. We were joined by Stuarts daughter and grandson. First up was a mile fun run on the track with young Lewis Moir taking part in his second race of the morning having previously ran the Victoria park junior parkrun in a new PB of 8.18 for the 2k. Now it was time to run his second race of 4 laps of the track which he ran with a consistent pace to complete in 7.57.Great to see one of our junior Harriers so keen on racing. Now it was time to run the 5k organised by Kilmarnock Harriers in memory of Ruby Young and raising money for charity with all proceeds from the day going to Ayrshire Cancer Support. Stuart, Lynsey and myself lined up on the track for a lap then a figure 8 course finishing with another lap on the track. For those that have done the cross country here in the past the first half of the figure 8 skirts round the route with the second half going towards the houses. It was almost perfect running conditions with just a little wind in places. We were off and Stuart started to move away round the track then Lynsey came past and moved about 5 metres in front of me which stabilised for a while. Off the track and over the bridge taking the path towards the overflow car park and through 1k onto the road turning right and running back towards the railway bridge and motorway. At the 1k I managed to pass Lynsey although im sure she stayed on my tail and when we moved through the trees onto the path at the motorway slip road the legs died on the uphill and Lynsey stormed passed me. Back round into the Arena area but this time straight over the bridge and back to the overflow car park this time turning left and towards the houses and then the main road back to the Arena. Stuart finished in a time of 20.52 with Lynsey coming in with a time of 25.12 then Me in 25.55. Happy with the time as its around what ive been running and with it being back to back racing days. A great wee event on a good course and well worth other Harriers considering and you can even take the kids along for the fun run
