Was not very hyped beforehand, and the legs were fairly exhausted from the gym. Regardless got most of the session done - skipped a prescribed 5th 3 minute, because I was about to go pop, but came back well enough for the 30s. Glad to have got this done, and plenty of room for improvement.

Solo 5km loop from the flat. I was really suffering - nothing in the legs and super spacey the whole time. Nicht gut, tragically the opposite of Sunday

First cycle of the year with Stephen out along the coast to Longniddry Bents car park 3.
Big boy headwind on the way home, and a sore bum too - long time since I went for a cycle. Was good though

Perth Parkrun - still the winter course
Remembered my watch this time, but ended up just running directly on the arse of the 19 min pacer for it all.
He was running a bit fast, but managed to keep up with him well enough

With Calum and Phil getting some Wainwrights - Sallows and Sour Howes
Bit of a slog up to the track and then we vanished into the clag for the two tops. Popped out eventually on the steep downhill before we did some sheep whispering and I nearly killed myself.
A good time all round

Newby Bridge Parkrun
Running with Emily, just the two of us made it along. Still a good time though
It was the winter course, which is definitely the strangest Parkrun route I've done - 4 laps of a park with 3 different 180° turns. First time I've lapped people while getting lapped simultaneously
