Easy Run 2:14:40 [3] 27.79 km (4:51 / km) +173m 4:42 / km
shoes: Adidas Ultraboost
Went up to Leith, across to Cramond Beach, and worked my way back from there. The first half was mostly unnoticeable, but once I got off the road along the coast I was starting to enjoy myself. Loads of people and their dogs enjoying the beautiful weather out, and my legs got a long rest from the sidewalks.
Hitting Cramond Beach and heading south along the river walkway, I was treated to two kilometers of unexpectedly wonderful trail running. The woods were pretty, the ground was soft, and I was mostly alone.
The only issue was that I was starting to look for a bathroom to avoid suffering for the second half. There seems to be a disdain for public toilets around here though, couldn't find a single one, and the guy I asked when I was hitting panic stations seemed to insinuate that I wouldn't be encountering any restrooms. Oh well, I just dealt with it and hoped I could keep it under control.
Apparently I didn't take enough time to remember the way back to the Meadows, and I was hit by an unfortunately timed wave of pain through my stomach and took a wrong turn. Spent some time guessing my way in the right direction until I hit a part of the Bruntsfield Links map by accident, so no issues from there.
That was the last of the troubles and I made it home safe and sound. Very enjoyable run that didn't get boring, good stuff.
