Pentlands from Bonaly. Fun. Muddy. I felt good but my times were slow. Tried to run the hills hard but my strava said I was still slow. It was hard to stay on your feet though. Wiped out a few times.

Not getting enough sleep. I’ll fall over sometime soon and just not bother to get up.

Buggy running for the first time with B. We have a different running buggy from last time as we gave our other one away. This is aThule running buggy / cycle trailer. It’s big and unwieldy. My shoulders are going to be massive if I do this regularly. The safety strap for your wrist is designed for right handlers which is a bit irritating.

Anyway, down to holy rood park to see Loz run an XC. He was much further up the field compared to last year.

Then big rush to John Muir CP for East Area o training. Another really excellent session for the kids. The coaches are doing great work.

C • Sinister 1

Today’s brunch was Honeycomb at Bruntsfield. New number 1 for me. Achingly poncey, not as friendly as some of the other lovely places (Salt Cafe, the Colony, Fountain Cafe) I didn’t want to like it but it was really very tasty indeed.

3 Friday brunches left. South of Edinburgh is done.

Bit too busy with work. If we could just get some sort of Brexit free trade agreement sorted that would help. It’s going to be utter chaos for us and pretty much any other importer under the current plans. Keep trying to work out how we can make it less of a shit show - and failing.

Trotettes. Pentlands from Bonaly. Fun.

From Meggetland to the meadows. A lap of 3 x 3mins on 1 off then a middle meadow walk and back to Meggetland for pick up.

Jill’s training. Does me good but the early starts are not getting any easier.

Up, around the meadows and back. Felt good tonight.
