Tinto twin.

It was fun. Got to 7, then pulled a calf. Bummer. Very slight, but I have learned my lesson, and stopped immediately. Hope I can still XC next weekend, and go to the lakes the weekend after.

Warm up down. Token effort due to childcare getting in the way.

National XC relay champs.

I dug out my XC spikes, clapped off the Falkirk (national XC 2013?) gravel, and set off to glorious Cumbernauld. There will be no shirking XC this year, as Ray has me in his HBT fantasy XC league team. Oh dear. I thankfully managed to reassure Rachel H that I was no way fit enough for the first team, so was with Eilidh (injured) and Eilis (pregnant). Eilidh did fine on first leg, and I went out with lots of weaker runners ahead of me, so I was passing all the time. It was truly horrific though. I haven't dusted off my brown for ages, and it showed. I survived though, and that's the main thing. I was chuffed to have popped my XC cherry for the season. Lots of training to do though. Such an ironic time to get athletes foot!

I'm going to have to get some insoles for my plantar fasciitis. I am struggling to walk now. Any tips are welcome.

Wanted to go running today, but there was not enough time available to go. Friday's are always v tight for time.

Sore legs. I was trying to work out what the problem might be, but it occurred to me that maybe four days of running in a row after not a lot is probably enough. Esp with my knee swelling up again yesterday.

Mmmm. Headwind. 50-60mph.

Asthmatic kids up all night, then a headwind all the way - the morning was improved by meeting Fran on the canal.

Legs and stomach felt terrible, like all of the other runs this week.

Portobello swimming lesson sprint. Calves getting tight, left knee swelling a bit. Same old, same old....

Lunch reps 6 x 3mins w 1 min.

To Frandy's with pants.

I actually did physio exercises today. PFsore foot is still PFF'd.
