Running 35:49 [3] 6.77 km (5:17 / km)
shoes: Asics trainers

With Andy. Went past the group doing intervals and managed to comically fall over just as I past them. Nice run anyway but definitely the wrong shoes. Also that is one month done! Sasha you owe me a juice box ;)

Running 33:17 [3] 6.36 km (5:14 / km)
shoes: Asics trainers

Ran 1km with Becca until she decided she'd had enough. Walked back home with her a long way and then ran the rest myself. Some nice bits of woods but nothing that lasted for too long.

Very nice cruise with the best male athlete in the uni, Sasha. Longest run in quite a few months. Felt better than I thought I would to be honest.

Running 23:21 [3] 5.12 km (4:34 / km)
shoes: Asics trainers

Spooky run down Innocent railway. After emerging from the bright tunnel into the pitch black I could not see a thing and every slightly dark shape was out to get me I swear.

Running 25:30 [3] 5.19 km (4:55 / km)
shoes: Asics trainers

So nearly didn't do this. Absolutely dead after this past weekend/week and all I wanted to do was sleep. Forced myself out though. Went up to KB to find the missing part of my compass to see if I could just get it added back on. Found it and it was broke anyway so not helpful. Also found parts of other broken compasses there, which I thought was funny.

Speedy cruise round the meadow after a brief stop at the ceilidh. Today went well I think. Literally not had spare time at all...

Orienteering 13:43 [4] 3.0 km (4:34 / km)
shoes: Asics trainers

First side of the map of FWTN once everything settled down and I felt as though I could slip out. Hit the floor hard at the map turnover, cutting my leg a fair buit and I've got a sweet egg on my arm. Also broken my compass which is a nightmare, just the outside bit thankfully. Gave up after I sat down for a couple of minutes anyway.

Left it very very late. Completely forgot about the time while working on BW stuff. Technically I finished the run the day after but in my watch it says I ran on Thursday so I'll take it.

First major hurdle of the challenge. A very hungover run around Loch Morlich with Tim, Ali and a few girls. Feet were freezing at the start and we missed out on the warm cafe. Got to be done though.

One man relay around the open bit on Loch Vaa. Did okay, managing to do my own thing and not be distracted by other gaffles. Put on a top notch sprint finish to burn past Tim and Tam after they'd just gone past me twice in the snow.

Orienteering 59:44 [3] 6.07 km (9:50 / km)

Long course. Deep snow made this very hard going and mostly just following the footprints of the people in front of you. Very pretty though on the bright side.

Running 35:00 [3] 8.0 km (4:23 / km)
shoes: Inov8 X-Talons 212s

So I fell asleep last night before I could put my garmin on charge and thus it died about 20 minutes in. Knew we left at 12 though and back just after 12:35 so time is pretty accurate. Distance is just guessed from the pace of the bit my watch did get. Ran the XC course from yesterday. Nice to have company

From the cinema, zig zagged up Calton Hill, down the hill to the Killing Fields. Checked out a bit of the XC course for tomorrow, tearing up the grass before Mo runs round. Nearly destroyed part of the course when I ran full speed into a bit of rope in the dark having not seen it.
