Orienteering - training 1:23:00 [3] 6.8 mi (12:12 / mi)
Some of toni's turnhouse trainings. Started with one, then swapped to the other one, then stopped when the hangover and hunger kicked in. Longest terrain run all year by a long way (first time over an hour) so decided i have done enough. Home to chaos as ray and the kids are making me a birthday cake. Just had to let ray know that a spatula is not an appropriate utensil for whipping cream...

Orienteering - training 49:00 [3] 6.0 mi (8:10 / mi)
My garmin is a bit dead so guessing the distance. Fun sprintervals using royal mile and holyrood. I know the royal mile a little too well now alas. Going to ice the knee later.
It was a day that started at 5:30 when lucy woke me up. I was exhausted and stressed and not looking forward to a day off with the kids as i was so tired. Went to aberdour with them as planned and mum said to go back to edinburgh and she would take care of them. So i did. Ray & i went out for lunch. I went to a bike shop to look at a new bike. I went to a cafe. I read the paper. I got some sleep. it was truly incredibly relaxing. I started the day thinking i was finally going to have a nervous breakdown before the day was out, and i end it totally relaxed! brilliant!

Intervals - short and speedy 22:00 [3] 2.8 mi (7:51 / mi)
This was meant to be 20 x 1min w30secs but ended up 10. something was not working today. Either iwasin trainers and i usually wear flats, or i have a mystery tightness in my back / glutes / hip flexor. It was a fight to get to 10!
Actually i reckon the terrain running is what killed my speed. Gotta minimise it from here on in. Twice a week max.

Road running 42:00 [3] 5.6 mi (7:30 / mi)
Run home. Felt ok. Knee had done all the hurting it was going to do on my lunchtime run. Got leave for eoc long and sprint not relay. I have to take it as study days and study there, and my colleagues are going to hate me when they find out, but sod them...
