Cort-ma Law with Alice (+ Thomas and Emma) on a cold and windy but gloriously sunny Sunday morning under clear blue skies. Hard work with heavy legs from yesterday. Climb in 42:14, descent in 30:50 = 73:04. Very stiff legs after yesterday ... struggled to walk across the bedroom first thing in the morning!

Brief warm down.

Tinto Hill Race (4.4 miles, 1500 feet climb) in 49:03. Chilly but sunny with perfect visibility and little wind (i.e. pretty ideal conditions). Steady climb with a bit more walking than expected (33:44 to top) then brisk descent (15:19). Thomas 37:12 despite unscheduled extra distance through the heather following the leader (Murray Strain) round the junior course loop. Emma 45:45. Battled on the descent with a woman who overtook me right at the end only to turn round in the finish funnel to reveal that she was heavily pregnant!

C • Jasmin Paris! 1

Warm up before the race.

Long travel day back to Glasgow.

Quick run during lunchtime break at conference in Fribourg, Switzerland. Down the hill into the old town in 18:46 and then back up again in 18:43 = 37:29.

C • Faster uphill ! 2

Long conference day.

Long travel day: walk + train + walk + lecture (!) + walk + bus + plane (including a 30 minute wait for some steps to get off the plane at Heathrow!) + plane + train + train + car.

Long day - no time to run and still suffering from various minor aches and pains.
