WEE, Sherrifmuir; green, 5.6km.
Sore back and hip flexors all day, and no warm up, so this was a pretty painful experience as it was uphill all the way out! Just couldn't get the legs moving, so Will's time of 37 minutes looked a long way off. Granted, I was very sloppy, and threw away 3-4 minutes, but I was well off the pace today. Good training, though - and glad I decided to ignore the aches and go!
Getting old and slow. Oh, and fat, did I forget to mention that?

Hm, pretty achey all over today - serves me right for doing no S&C for months! Meant to go out for a long, easy run but (as usual) found myself still in front of the computer at 5 o'clock and having to pick up the kids before 6. So, short trog to the Gathering Stane was all I could muster. Felt surprisingly OK when I got going, still achey but loose enough.
