Running (Recovery) 40:00 [3] 8.35 km (4:47 / km) +150m 4:24 / km
ahr:146 max:160 shoes: Saucony Grid Jazz Omni
Buoyed by ibuprofen... perhaps a bad idea. I set off for a wee jaunt around Dunblane in the lovely afternoon sunshine. A slightly faster pace than yesterday, and my back started twingeing and generally telling me off. Fool! (in my best BA Baracas accent). Gorgeous views across to Stuc, Ledi, Lomond et al. Oh to be up a hill...

Running (Recovery) 30:00 [2] 5.6 km (5:21 / km) +120m 4:50 / km
ahr:142 max:146 shoes: Asics Gel-Trail Attack WR
Another day trapped in the training course in Edinburgh - at the weekend! - but I escaped at 3 and managed to get home in time to go out for a tentative trot to see how my back is faring. The answer is - getting better, but still not great. The proof will be in the pudding tomorrow morning, when I try to get out of bed...
I'd really been hoping to run the Braids today. Very jealous of Dixie and Grump!

Note
(rest day)
All day on a training course in Edinburgh - deeply dull, and no chance to exercise. This was a good thing, as my back's improving but still not up to allowing me to run.

Back crocked again this morning. Stupid thing.

Running (Recovery) 21:30 [2] 4.5 km (4:47 / km)
shoes: Asics Gel Landreth 3
Tentative early morning jog up the road to see if my back's getting any better. It is, but my legs were rubbish, felt like they were on backwards.
Strength training 35:00 [2]
Back on the machines again after work in Stockport. No queuing, unlike last night - obviously 5pm is the time to go...
Gym (Cross-trainer) 40:00 [3] 8.5 km (4:42 / km)
Love the random effort program on these machines; a far better workout than the yooni ones.

Lower back very crocked today. It wasn't even the hill race that did it - I think now that it was clearing out the loft on Sunday afternoon, hoiking boxes of books to/from the loft and ripping up lots of excess cardboard packaging. Double d'oh. :-(
Gym (Cardio) 40:00 [3] 7.7 km (5:12 / km)
Located a nice municipal gym less than half a mile from the customer's site - perfect. 30 mins of non-impact exercise on the cross-trainer and 10 mins on the rower in an attempt to mobilise that lower back...
Strength training 20:00 [2]
Some simple core core, stretching, and a couple of machines that I managed to get to without queuing. Obviously 6pm is NOT the time to go to this gym!

(injured) (rest day)
Driving to Macunia. In Beccy's car again. So my already sore back was completely crocked after 5 more hours in the hot seat. Doh!
