SOL at Scolty - short brown. Good run, pretty clean and working hard. Got a bit confused going into no 2 and lost ~30s, slight hesitation at 4 ~15s. Otherwise I think I spiked everything.

To start

Geallaig Hill - Prominent peak no 6. Was feeling rubbish first thing in the morning, but settled into a steady pace on the hill and managed to run all the way to the top easily enough (33'). Lovely morning - warm but not stifling. Ran relaxed back down the hill without pushing it at all. Nice run and starting to feel more like a runner again.

Nipped home from DAP to unplug phones and computers during the storm, then jogged back over the hill again.

Cycled down to school with E much to his dislike. Warm-up for....

...control hanging in Dess for the Inter-Area relays. Did it in little loops so that I could get a decent run in at the same time. Out for 80' total.

Forest sprint at Shooting Greens. Excellent training session - thanks olsoran. Needed quick thinking and foreward planning.A few little wobbles that could be ironed out - didn't see no 1 and ran all the way round the knoll to find it. Turned the wrong way going into 5, then had to double back. Slightly off line into 7 and 9. Got onto wrong spur / open at 13 and almost overshot 14. Sounds a lot but think it was probably ~1' total. Pity a few more folk didn't turn up - why not? Friday night? something different = scary? Scottish schools earlier in the day?

Felt dreadful warming up

8 x 2' + 1' at Kingshill. Feeling not too bad, and at least I'm managing to get the quality in.

Walked down to the Dee for a paddle with E after school. Summer finally ;-}

Had a great stress removed this evening on discovering that the deadline for a paper has been moved from the end of June to mid Aug - phew.

No time.
Went for a walk with E in the afternoon

6 x 3' + 1' at H'head. Took some serious self discipline to make myself do this, but felt ok.

To and from intervals

Good - feeling ready to face the rest of the week now, almost.
