Ankle stiff but not too bad so seized the chance of a window in the weather to get it a bit more mobile.
Cautiously along and up into Leckie (woodland below the track now largely gone) and it seemed okay, so took the track out to the hillside and squelched my way through the gorse beneath the crags. Toyed with the idea of climbing to flag/cairn but thought I would be pushing my luck ankle-wise. Taking it all pretty steady in the mud and puddles and tussocks and so on.
So - back along and down straight home, using the descent to make a start on trampling the bracken ready for future ascents from home this winter....

Supposed to be doing Glasgow Uni 5mile race at Garscube.
Ankle not up to it.....not entirely disappointed given the wind and rain beating against the house windows!
Caught up on sleep instead with a bonus three hour nap all afternoon :)

C • Glasgow Univ 5 Miler 2

Ankle not really swollen but stiff and sore in the joint. Need to keep it mobilised but definitely not a good idea to run.

Headtorch run with GG, Rosco and Andy, a loop through the woods then to the top from Sherrifmuir side. All good except crunched my ankle on the descent. Not swollen up though so hopefully okay.

FVO night race, King's Park and (mostly) Torbrex.

Back from London overnight on the sleeper, feeling the effects of too much food/drink/travel and too little warmup....plus also a shocker of a route to #2 given that I know perfectly well there is no exit in the corner of the park where I initially planned to exit.....

Enjoyed it though - thanks Trevor!

Very short jog pre-start, control collection jog afterwards once what we thought was the final finisher had returned....
...it was not in fact the final finisher (sorry Geoffrey!).

Even shorter of time than yesterday - but Kensington Gardens are open in daylight so able to do an even shorter version of last night's loop.

Not much time but managed quick loop round Kensington Palace Gardens, Albert Hall, Serpentine and back to Lancaster Gate.
