TAY Christmas Score, Drummond Castle, 60 Minute Course in 59:57 scoring 530/580 points (missed one control and never saw the Christmas elf!). Steady, mostly solo, effort round a wet area on a wet day. Navigation solid, but slow on the second half.

Landed at Edinburgh airport at 8:35 am after a 21 return trip involving three different flights from Japan, but just made it to Heriot-Watt in time for a first visit to Oriam (aka Heriot-Watt) parkrun #6. A nice rolling out-and-back course on tracks (rather muddy either side of the half way turn) through the woods. Official time 24:02.

Last day in Japan, so last chance for a slight extended out-and-back both ways along the Fukuoka seafront on a blustery but pleasant Friday morning.

Interesting but sobering day trip by train from Fukuoka to Nagasaki.

Conference from early to late with no chance to exercise.

Conference all day, but incorporating the full-on (or should I say "full-off") Japanese "onsen" (i.e. hot pools / sauna) experience, including rubbing ourselves all over with salt before one of the saunas!

I'm not a fan of early morning runs or slow plods on hard surfaces, but the conference schedule meant that a blustery run along the almost deserted seafront in Fukuoka was the only real option for exercise today.
