Flying visit to Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Three shows in four hours. Two hits ("Kate" and "Potted Sherlock") and one rather weird show ("The Great Fire of Nostril").

Springburn parkrun #15. Heavy legs at the start, but thereafter felt quite good and so a little disappointed to be 5 seconds slower than my Springburn parkrun PB of 22:06. Official result: 10/59 in 22:11.

Gentle warm up and down.

Steady anti-clockwise loop of the Whangie with Thomas on a cool Friday evening.

CLYDE Terrain Run, The Slacks (clockwise). Slow climb with heavy legs from the last two day's races along the line of the crags, across to the trig point (37:04 to the trig point), and then straight back down (17:15 for the descent) for a total of 54:19. With Dave and Lindsay, Thomas and Emma, and Iain (his first Thursday night for a long, long time). Very still, and surprisingly damp underfoot.

Canal Canter 8 km, Clydebank. Simple out-and-back course along the canal tow path. "Out" (slightly uphill, feeling a bit and heavy legged after yesterday's race and getting gradually overtaken all the way) in 18:12 and "back" (slightly downhill, pushing harder and holding position) in 18.21, for a total unofficial time of 36:33. Both heels pretty sore for the last couple of km. Official result: 42nd in 36:33.

Warm up/down before/after the race.

Garscube Gallop 7 km Trail Race, Dawsholm Park. Four (different) laps of Dawsholm Park on a damp Tuesday evening. Started too quickly - I overtook Emma of the first lap - and paid for it later - she overtook me back at the top of the steps towards the end of the third lap. Cheered on some of the orienteers (Patrick, Arnis, etc) doing the STAG evening event coincidentally taking place in the Park at the same time. Official result: Thomas 10th in 27:52, Emma 39th in 33:42, and me 43rd in 34:10.

Token warm up and down.
