Saturday Jul 28, 2012 #

Running 1:01:00 [3] 6.0 mi (10:10 / mi)

Arthurs Seat. Bit of a plod, tired and left leg not playing (AWOL calf muscle). Cant stand on one leg so in terrain not too clever.

note: This "injury" is completely painless but doesn't seem to be resolving itself. Gastrocnemius says Jane. 3-4 heel raises is still about the max I can do, c/f forever on teh right leg.

Steady through Mortonhall, run home.

Note

Return to competition after 20 years at the Melville Bridge Club with Fred VF. Hand 1 - slam. Hand 2 - Grand slam! Came just above average 50.5% on the "strong" night. Judgment was reasonable, but anything to do with counting to 13 required too much effort.

Tuesday Jul 24, 2012 #

Wet miserable day, Road route round Mortonhall

Sunday Jul 22, 2012 #

Running 2:10:00 [3] 13.0 mi (10:00 / mi)

Sometime you have to go away to appreciate whats on the doorstep. Nice if windy day for a Pentlands run. Hillend -> Black and back, via Allermuir, Capelaw, Harbour and Bells, plus Caerketton on the return which meant descending and getting blocked by construction barriers, requiring lots of tired faffing to get to the car.

Had a wobble at the foot of Bells on the way back, walked up, then caught a tailwind home so moving quite sweetly. Running is definitely easier than walking when you can stand on one leg!

Orienteering 22:30 [2] 3.0 mi (7:30 / mi)

Jacked on the Nottingham City race, instead follow James round a short course to help him cross the roads (as if). Surprised and very pleased to keep up without hamstring pain. Running on good surface in new shoes helps.
