Note
When you are running badly those weekly emails from BOF about ranking points sound increasingly sarcastic. "Congratulations" the latest one said, "you have achieved xxxx (just about scraping into 4 figures, weepingly lamentable) ranking points". This was my 15th best score in the past 12 months, apparently. I can't believe I have actually been orienteering 15 times in the past year.

Inverleith park reps
8min, 6 min, 4, 3, 2, 1 with 90 secs for the first two and 1 min for the others. Grass reps, wore spikes which felt good. Nice to catch up with Chloe C on the jog back up the hill too. I did feel really very slow though.
Foot fine.

Warm up / down.
Orienteering - race 1:01:11 [3] 4.8 mi (12:45 / mi)
Sol 1 Mugdock
And this is the day when I break the 10 mile running thing. Sore top-of-foot and ceased up joints left any running on uneven surfaces really quite painful. So that's the whole race then. Tired, tired, tired. I caught Colin/David Eades up half way, and the chit chat made the rest of the race fun.
So lesson learnt. Looking forward to doing some more productive training, if I haven't done serious damage to my foot that is.

Road running 1:30:00 [3] 11.0 mi (8:11 / mi)
Oh dear. The 10 miles a day rolls on.
I was tired and stroppy on setting off, and not particularly mad for it. I headed to Portobello, then joppa, down the prom and back along the prom far enough to make up the distance when I get home. The miles ticked by nicely after a while, and my legs felt ok but the rest of my body felt shite.

I am considering running M40 at the jk. I am pretty unfit so prizes aren't an issue, but would like a valid result. Anyone know if I would be disqualified?
C • M40 9
1 PM
Road running 50:45 [3] 6.26 mi (8:06 / mi)
Haymarket, Roseburn Cyclepath to Granton Rd, then through Inverleith Park back to work.
6 PM
Road running 33:49 [3] 4.02 mi (8:25 / mi)
Meadows laps.
Now that I have actually entered M40 I'd better plan some training, rather than just 10miles plod a day. 6 week training plan coming up.
