Fri 9th

Following hurricane Bawbag, I took to the meadows in shorts again. 1 full, which was quite tiring, then 1 low. About 5.5 kms in 35 mins. No music as mp3 was under the bed. And today it snowed!

Tues 6th Dec

Seems that cold run last Tues was a bit much...had very stiff thighs til Fri and slight sore throat / cough. Went on an hour walk up Salisbury Crags on Sun after the 1st snow fall, which melted damn quickly.

So, today was 2 full circuits at a careful pace as there was ice about. Enjoyed the Ramones and wore a lot: track suit bottoms, t-shirt & hoodie. Jogged 7km in about 40mins or so. Think it'll have to be more clothed runs in future to avoid flu/cough! 

Tues 29/11

after a Sunday off, although I cycled out to Slateford, I was back up for 4 low (10k) in cold but good conditions with Lydia shrieking & Roland twanging! 45 mins or so. legs back on good form!

sat 26/11

2 low plods...legs not very good at all....head cleaned by end...about 30 mins with a bog/stretch stop. New headphones so Thrill Kill K K Kult!

Thurs 24th

Evening run 50mins in wind & light rain. 4 low circuits so about 10k. Faster than I intended but once ya get it going... Was also troubled by maurauding gangs of military fit runners! Legs seem OK and that's been 2 long runs in 3 days...

Sun 20th

Forgot to post...1 very delicate plod round the meadows which did sooth both head & legs. think it took 25 mins!

Tues 22

Hooray...good run: full meadows in cold sun 11km (or 11.25!) in 1 hour. Then a wee wind down jog (2) in 10 mins! See how the legs are the morn!

Sat 19

Two full circuits in the fragile sun of 3pm. So about 7.5 kms in 35 mins And most importantly no pain or discomfort yet!

Thurs 17th

Another 2 low laps...25mins...no so cold so shorts & t-shirt.

Legs esp left shin no feeling natural..ho hum!

Tues 15th

Again 2 low circuits..untimed & without music (bloody headphones!). It was a bit easier than last Thurs but I could still feel my legs grumbling away...thanks to the great Bristol march!

Conditions were cold and dark and I ran in long sleeves/legs, but I warmed up quickly

Thu 10 Nov

So 2 low meadows (5km? 5.5?) in November sun with Jimmi Tennor in 25/26 mins with delicate shin bits! I plodded along but it was an effort. Never mind; I did it! Away to Bristol for w/e so no running!

Tues 8/11

Dark and misty 5-6pm run. No bloody light at the Links!

3* full meadows with The Cramps. So 11.25 kms in 1 hour. Feel fine so far...

Sun 6 November

NEW DIRECTION...RUNNING!!

Today I did a hungover jog - 2* full meadows + half low + up Mid Meadows walk to Bristo SQ. Total about 10. Time 1hr. crisp clear day. Later had cycle round Hollyrood.

Last weekend nought as was at Helen's wedding.

Tues...good jog/run just 2 low with a dash at the end.
Thurs..started jog 1 full, then ran low with sprint. Need to forget sprints until more strength built up!
