Went for an o session on Uath Lochans. Except my map was a bit old, in fact I remember when I did the training on it, and gross was in charge of seds then. And the scale of the map seemed to be 'gross scale' which is similar to 'Toni scale', i.e. A4. We haven't been back to Uath Lochans for ages and now I know why. A k in and I realised someone has nicked all of the trees. Loads and loads of them. And build a new track. And I kept tripping up and skinning the scabs off my knees. So I turned it into a jog instead. Which was very enjoyable. Taking an orienteering break for a few days.

From work back along the canal, then off up craiglockhart hill, then the hermitage and up to the observatory car park via the quarry scramble. Fun. Going 7:45-ish min miling on the canal, but took the 7 hills route up craiglockhart hill (very steep, no grip on shoes, 2 scabby knees and a dodgy achillies - what was I thinking?). Achilles got sore on the way to hermitage, and calf didn't get sore until the observatory. Bonus!

Was going to run to work but by the time I got to the meadows it was obvious that a 7 mile road run was not going to be good for me. 2 laps of the meadows and down lothian road to the bus stop instead. This was actually quite a good idea, a bit of running on grass, and I could probably do this again, but leave enough time to do more laps. Shame the logistics only work for Monday and Wednesday really. On the whole I still think things are moving in the right direction injury wise. The achilles is much calmer, just getting calf cramps running on roads. Interested to see how a week in terrain next week will work out.
4 PM
Road running 55:00 [3] 7.0 mi (7:51 / mi)
Ran from work to nursery, on the canal. Pleased. Got to meggetland (36mins) before I had to do any walking. Last time a few weeks ago it was water of leith. Ninja walked for a minute or so then managed to get running again. The pain wasn't so bad, and I managed to get all the way to the nursery then.

Nice cycle commute. Strong warm headwind to give something to fight against on the way in, good tail wind to push me home.

ESOC street o that I was going to do last night. Fun. Cramp started after 32 mins. Did some walking and managed to run on after. Roads.

Had some free time this afternoon so decided I would dig out my o maps from this year and get some tips on what to work on for next year. What a horrible idea. 10mins was as long as I could look for. The general synopsis is when I focus and stay in control, all goes well; when I don't, it's ugly. More basic technique training required to make it all more automatic, and more high pressure races next year to test my focus.

I was going to go running tonight, but Ray 'forgot', and stayed to socialise after work, getting back late. Annoyed? Me? Even more annoying as I could have gone running this afternoon, but didn't as I thought twice in one day would be unwise.
