Running 1:10:00 [2] 16.67 km (4:12 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2150 #5

Felt very heavy and lethargic this morning but right as rain by lunchtime. Just a single today: Bramble Drive out in East Craigs - right next to the aforementioned Birch, Blackthorns and Blaeberries. Last time I was there I was ranting about how I'd had to go out there on two consecutive mornings because of one street getting between Blackthorn and Blaeberry (Blackwood). This time it is the opposite. Yesterday I was at Braids and next up is Bramdean which is basically Braids too so today was just a cruel detour.

shoes: Asics GT2150 #5

It's a new day, it's a new dawn, it's new life in my legs - I'm feeeeeeeeeling goooood. Like a candle in the dark, a lighthouse in the fog or a reflective tape in a thicket from the murk of last night's death march back from Cramond came a new light freshness up on Braids: Avenue, ...burn Cres, ...burn Terrace, Crescent, Farm Avenue, Hills Approach, Hills Avenue, Hills Crescent, Hills Drive, Hills Road, ...mount, ...mount Crest, ...mount Rise, ...mount View finishing with the long downhill glide back to Morningside on Braid Road. Gorgeous morning to be a runner.

Long but very easy mission out to Cramond to tick off Braehead Ave, Brae, Cres., Drive, Grove, Loan, Place, Road, Row and View then, Braepark and Braepark Road (old road to old Cramond Brig) which I thought were pretty cool. Some obviously old traditional houses with some brand new Grand Designs style architecture.

6 PM

Running warm up/down (AZ) 33:00 [2] 7.6 km (4:21 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2150 #5

Could have done these two this morning but thought it was better to do a proper short one then a long warm up before the session. Boy's Brigade Walk on the meadows (not for the last time tonight) and Braefoot Terrace at the bottom of Liberton Brae. Back to DVC.

Running intervals 52:00 [5] 12.6 km (4:08 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2150 #5

The session that killed me last year: 3x 2.2km, 6x1km. Felt good, time will tell how I react to it. Times 7:02, 6:51, 6:56 then 3:07, 05, 05, 04, 02, 2:59. Really gunning it the last 200 of the last two reps.

Running warm up/down 15:00 [1] 2.7 km (5:33 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2150 #5

Home.

Out to South Gyle to pick up a parcel.

6 PM

Running (AZ) 1:23:00 [2] 17.1 km (4:51 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2150 #5

Not as slow as the time suggests. Having gone to Bothwell Road and Bowhill Terrace I spent a long time faffing around looking for Bowie's Close in Leith. Found it, and survived, so celebrated by visiting The Bowling Green (no ball games) and Bowling Lane.
