SLR - with Grace round loch and avon then said our farewells and I headed up the north face. Was defo still digesting breakfast for the first 40 but what can you do. There's been another snow fall overnight higher up so I was running on a beautiful layer of crisp and untouched snow up and over cockleroy and for a good part of beecraigs as well. Did a nice wee loop round the woods behinf witches craig which was really lovely. Have to say wintery, snowy, sunny, calm morning vibes are about as exquisite as it gets. приятно!

Leisure centre ints 2x8(2), 2x4(1.30), 2x2(1) Was hoping to get a canal sesh in today but ice came overnight again. The 8s felt very comfortable and the progression felt manageable and where it should be so no real complaints there. Not too slushy at all. Grace got chased by a dog twice but it stayed well clear from here - clearly the west lothian dogs are on their best behaviour with me after hearing about my Broxburn antics

Some of you may have read grace’s log about this and will be thinking, ‘wow, pete’s legit evil’. Well, what we have there is only part of the story. Did I maliciously and deliberately kick a dog’s ball into the canal? No. Did I kick a very scruffy looking stray ball about 30m away from a dog without making the link between the two (somehow) and did it go in the canal? Yes. In the same way that you see a big stick and give it a punt. Shoulda seen the amount of apologising I did. Stupid? Yes. Deliberate? No. Hotel? Trivago

Sprint O at Broxburn. Great course with 3 long legs between pinball sections. Didn’t do enough planning on the first long leg so was a bit scrappy in the first section but managed to get my head in gear and my legs moving after that. Refreshing to have an area with actual dead ends - problem with Bo’ness is that you can kinda just go anywhere to an extent. Mostly all there just need that final 5% of clinical execution. Also just very grateful not to have been stabbed at #24, defo up there for creepiest control site visited during a sprint course

grace was making a lot of noises about the ice - tbf it was pretty bad. Clearly the Nvii sponsorship not doing bits on this occasion

Leisure centre ints 12x 1:30 (1 'steady') Lots and lots of ice and snow so this was always gonna be tasty. Forgot how horrible non-shuffle recoveries are, but then again I guess that is the point. Felt decent throughout and pulled out a good last rep in amongst lots of slipping and sliding

Strides in 3 inches of snow seemed futile so WD it was
