Sore foot. I have a plan though. Well I have the plan Ali Rose drew up for Fanny to get rid of her pf, and Angela gave me the number of the podiatrist that solved hers. So I have more of a plan than I had yesterday, and hopefully I won't have to find the time to schlep to a physio.

7 AM
Trail running 1:00:08 [3] 6.1 mi (9:51 / mi)
Insomnia, which was useful as it meant I got up at 5, which gave my foot a bit of time to ease off so by 7 I was able to go running. Top of AS, Crags, Radical Road and home to pick up my bag then on to work.
Fun, and my foot was ok so it was my calf's turn to be problematic. Lots of interesting cricking / popping noises on the descents, and on the ascents it just felt like my calf muscles were all twisted together. Cricking noises from a calf muscle is impressive stuff though. I was tiring by the end, but two blokes joined radical road just after me, so I had to make a bit of an effort not to get caught. It is a deceptively long hill though and I suspect that they were tourists cause they faded after the first false 'summit'.

Bad day. Painful foot less of a worry than the need for mental release. Work, crags, radical road and home. Feeling :( though this helped.

Laurence's first running session today. CAAC. 6-7pm at Saughton. I run across the meadows to after school club to pick them up (one mile) and wonder why my bag is so jiggly. Hmm. I realise half way that I forgot to zip it up and things are flying out all over the meadows. Whoops.
Laurence is in the running group, and Lucy is too young, but I want to give her some running so we jog a mile around the track before heading to the play park / skate park with our scooters. None of the above counts as training though. I wore my trainers all day today and my foot was better for it.

Cycle commute 3:00:00 [3] 7.5 mi (24:00 / mi)
ahr:121 max:155
Ray and I both got the bank holiday - the kids didn't. We were supposed to use the day doing serious chores - paint the exterior woodwork, fix Luxy's bike, do some gardening, tidy the garage, go computer shopping - but, well, that's just too boring.
We went on a bike ride instead. About 30 miles. Lots of disused railways, pretty much all the way to Saturday's orienteering area and back, then the Espy in portobello for pub lunch and the Portobello Turkish baths, before a panic sprint back up the hill to school, responsibilities etc etc.
Both surprisingly pooped.
