Urban orienteering with murray and tess. Planned by toni. Some really interesting route choice, so good to run with tess to compare. Fun and sunny for once.

Looking forward to eoc. My hamstring problems will only be a problem really on the sprint hopefully. Don't think the terrain will suit me at all, but at least if my expectations are low i can only surprise myself. Hope to give some bored people sat at work a bit of
a laugh with my gps at least if i get really lost. Looking forward to catching up on some sleep when there.

Cycle in

Cycle home. Glutes and hamstrings and itb's all a bit too ouchy to run. Hopefully the massage i have just have will have sorted them out. Off for a stretch.

20 x 1min w30 secs. Alone. in totally minging weather. Pleased to get it over with. Faster than last time I did it in the meadows. Not going point to point but around in laps. My sanity needed all the help it could get in this weather. Bed att 11:30 last night, woken at 5. Nice.

Cycle in. Slight headwind.

Had to post a parcel so to corstorphine post office and back via gyle urban-oing

Cycle home. Planning to do but totally whacked off 4 hours sleep and pretty niggly so left it at that. Made the evening lots more relaxing too which wad good as i was beginning to get a bit ill through lack of sleep.

Cycle to work. Hamstring a bit ho hum. Hope to makeit to intervals.

Cycle home. Had to remind myself i was doing intervals later, and to save my dodgy legs and not get too competitive with the other commuters. So mr red panniers, i let you get away this once, but i'll get you next time!

Run up to nursery. Felt ok-ish so think i will go up to intervals. It will be really good cardio and hopefully won't set my hamstring back.

Martin's. Only 3 due to niggles. Got what i wanted out of it. Confidence that i am the fittest i have ever been. 4:25, 4:23, 4:25. All on my ownsome. Looking forward to 2 weeks time when i can go for all 5 without worrying too much about trashing myself before future races. Hamstrings were ok, but the niggles were gradually mounting so 3 was fine.

No ryn after today as hamstring still not good. I don't want to test it out so early inthe morning.

Cycle home. Hamstring still sore. Humfh. Set off twice to go running today (lunchtime and 5pm). got no further than 50m before deciding it eas a non-starter. Bummer.

BOC relay. Mens short. Fun. Ray mispunched - bummer for him. I was last leg and had no idea, so had fun passing Neil Conway and some junior (Jack Benham?) to come back in 1st place but no prize - boo! Running well - nearly sub 5min k's, but not quite. Good, proper planning unlike yesterday...
