Hill Running 1:43:24 [3] 11.26 mi (9:11 / mi) +840m 7:27 / mi
Went a run from Red Moss into Green Cleuch, round the path on the north side of Black Hill, curving round into White Cleuch (hideous rubble path in places) to Logan Cottage. Ran up the road by the Logan Burn for a few hundred meters then crossed a bridge and climbed directly up Turnhouse Hill (nice climb). Followed the ridge over Carnethy, Scald Law and the Kips, then ran back the drove road to Red Moss. Nice run, clear on the tops and a northerly breeze. Got caught in heavy hail shower going round Black Hill. Blitzed West Kip descent for a bit of fun. No other runners to be seen which is unusual for the Pentlands though started relatively late.

Hill Running 1:55:23 [3] 11.93 mi (9:40 / mi) +1070m 7:34 / mi
Solo effort from Alva Glen car park up the landrover track to Ben Buck, then Ben Cleuch, (back to) Ben Buck, Craighorn, runnable (longer) descent into upper Alva Glen, then up a very steep climb to Bengengie, across to Colsnaur then down by the track to finish in Menstrie. Misty above 500m and quite cool, but nice conditions for running. Much better than forecast. Really enjoyed then run, much more so than last weeks race! Pretty wet underfoot.

Trail Running 38:41 [1] 3.71 mi (10:26 / mi) +40m 10:05 / mi
Went out to Blackness with Hanna & Tracey so decided to try a run in the woods along the coast to the east. Took high path on the way out, but just over a mile in, started to feel my knee rubbing a bit. Stopped & stretched, then ran a bit before stop & stretch etc. By 2 miles just decided to walk back so as not to cause too much damage. Knee just not tracking right after Stuc. Shouldn't have bothered running today. Annoying. Route lovely for a run otherwise.
