slept:7.0

Warm up / down

XC / road / hill race 31:45 [3] 4.3 mi (7:23 / mi)

Woeful, just woeful. Went backwards in the muddy loop around the grass, then into the narrow ricerside path stuck behind slower moving athletes. Wasted lots of energy trying to get past. Then tired in the second half. Boo. I just can't run on mud. My running technique must totally rely on getting traction.

9 PM

Road running 48:46 [3] 6.15 mi (7:56 / mi)

Punishment miles for being shit earlier. Duddingston, Meadowbank, Waterloo place and home.

Christmas shizz. Funny, but still I would have liked to have time for a run.

Road running 48:04 [3] 6.3 mi (7:38 / mi)
slept:6.0

Run to work, with James, who dropped by in quite a random fashion. Started after dropping the kids off at breakfast club, then dropped James off at his hotel in the Grassmarket, then on to school. Going well, and feeling fresh, maybe because I started at a good pace with James (just to make him hurt a little...) and kept it going.

5 PM

Road running 1:08:07 [3] 8.41 mi (8:06 / mi)

Run from work along the canal to Fran's. It was a bit spooky along the canal in the dark through Edinburgh's less classy areas (wester hailes). Big hill past Myreside at the end of the run too, so I was tired. Got to Fran's to find Ray and the kids had cycled there, it was dark, the kids were tired, so I ran on home to get the van. Not really what I needed at the end of a high mileage week but my legs felt ok, and seeing both siblings in one day is a nice bonus.

Bad stomach all day and while running.

Tooth problems, so no geeking last night as I drugged myself up and went to bed v early.

Off-road running 48:03 [3] 6.21 mi (7:44 / mi)

7 PM

Orienteering - training 44:00 [3] 4.0 mi (11:00 / mi)

Fight with the night. Blackford.

I wouldn't really call my orienteering tonight 'fighting'. More like lumbering around in a vaugely accurate fashion. I was navigating ok, but found the terrain tough going in my xtalons, so didn't touch all the controls, just saw them. Fun, all the same.

Cycle commute 1:00:00 [3] 4.0 mi (15:00 / mi)

Need more sleep, but I was on fire, and crown myself queen of the competitive cycle commute this morning. Little victories (that may cost me in a few hours time when I try to do 10miles hard).

12 PM

Tempo run 1:09:47 [3] 10.0 mi (6:59 / mi)

7:01, 7:13, 6:58, 6:52, 7:01. 35:05
7:01, 7:05, 7:07, 6:58, 6:26. 34:42

Killer. R hip flexor was sore during last few miles. Pushed through it. Got back and cycled home as my half days have been mixed up this week. The cycle helped, tho the pace was probably slower than the run!

Off-road running 2:12:42 [3] 14.2 mi (9:21 / mi)
slept:6.8

Glorious run home taking the high road over the pentlands tops then braids. Sunny, lovely. It is great to have some stamina, so when you are at the top of Carketton, 9 miles and a fair bit of climb in, and see roughly where you live and it's 5 miles away, you can look forward to it, instead of dread it.

Calf a bit tight at the end. Physio is back. Appt next Monday.
