Hibs were having a shocker having gone 4-1 down in the first half and a bit so he made all 4 of us substitutes go on at once and the game changed. Came back to 4-3 but they held us there. Personally not a great footballing performance but I put a shift in a worked hard to attack and defend, just need more confidence to get the ball in the middle and do something with it.
Anyway absolutely lush day and considering the last game time I had was November last year it could have been worse!

Easy except my legs felt rank for the first 10min or so. 3 x blackford pond

In circuit gym with Nixon. WU, ladders, hurdles including lateral, reverse lunges 3x8 each side, OH press 3x8 both with 15kg, TRX row 3x8, single leg squats off box 3x8, loads of BOSU work on both legs, finished with a mini core circuit - not getting any easier!!
Legs tired cycling home.

Nothing exciting to report except maybe the hills on the way back felt easier..?

Some agility work then into small sided games which I sucked at! Last 20min was a half pitch 8 a side which suited me a bit better. Still need to build a lot of confidence but it will come. Playing Sunday so that should be cool!

Recovery with 10 v.short hill sprints with walk back down on my way back. Legs felt ok

On my larry.. WU, ladder drills, hurdles, dot jumps, reverse lunges 3x16, OH squat 4x5, OH press x10 - all with 15kg bar. Then some core and stretching.

Took me 5minutes to realise I had forgotten my boots so after going back I had to push on to not be late. Crawling on the way back jesus I thought I was going to fall asleep on the final hill!

Not included the 10/15min WU because its not very strenuous.
Spent the first hour doing high tempo possession games with sprints every 5 minutes which was tough but I held my own. Then a half pitch game for the final half hour which wasn't as intense and I ran round in a lot of circles pretending to know what I was doing yay

Back in Edinburgh so 'Blackford 45min figure 8' except it was the slightly extended version up the steps and didn't take 45min. Easy running is getting easier and its nice to feel some bounce instead of plodding
