Orienteering - easy 45:00 [2]
slept:9.0 shoes: Walsh PB racer (Sept 11)
back a Skelder on a tight time limit. quickly planned a control pick in the nice bits. sometimes i amaze myself with my own inability to orienteer, having been here so many times/helped make the map i tend to think i know how to get to everything without having to orienteer properly, 'oh yeh its that re-entrant just over there somewhere'. but it's a tricky and vague little place and you do actually have to pay attention to exactly where youre running. if i manage to get my GPS sorted out on dad's PC there could be some xmas comedy later...
throat just about better. a bit snotty and not quite usual bounce in legs but getting there :-)

slept through most of possible running window, so just a quick one across town to drop in on my gran :-) legs feeling back to normal but noticed my throat was a bit scratchy and when i looked could see one little white bit. no other symptoms, should be fine after a good night's sleep, but will see how it is in the morning. hope do be back to normal training, but not too much, have already more than used up the 5 hours running i was meant to do this week...

10 days ago i described my 'long' run as epic. i dont think i knew what i was talking about. this is the longest ive ever run and a big challenge, but good conditions and great company made it a brilliant evening, even (especially?) getting almost knocked off my feet by the wind on Carnethy. Massive thanks to Tessa for lending me a headlamp when mine ran out of battery and to everyone for good conversation and encouragement :-) easy day tomorrow...

We missed the little bit going to the hill called South Black Hill by accident, so i guess technically the whole thing is still there to be done next time...

A shorter session today, something a bit different (and faster than usual 2km reps). 2x 650/1000/1250m, then 3x350m. 90s jog recoveries, plus more between sets. guessing at times again, i kept pressing the wrong button on my watch which messed up the session a bit...

49s, 47s, 46s
i guess everyone's gone home, only me and an exam-stressed Kirstin tonight (Iain ran with us too but wasn't pushing hard enough to take his tracksuit off)
