9 AM

Off-road running 1:37:13 [3] 9.02 mi (10:47 / mi)

High Nick Cup with Becca, this time up the valley off road. Fun, but rough. Again lovely to be running with company. So hot. I am still so hotnow. It’s just too hot. Trying to work out how over-looked our garden is. Is sitting outside in bra and pants doable? It’s 9:45pm and it us still so hot. Give us Edinburghers some mercy - we are just not used to heat.

Off-road running 1:02:00 [3] 5.7 mi (10:53 / mi)

dropped the kids off at school then to Arthur’s Seat. Set off up the gutted Haddie thinking I’d reccy the handicap before Monday, but the most was so thick it was a bit futile. Got to the top of the seat, then nether hill, then crow hill was in the mist. Guessed which direction to head to dunsapie Hill, up whinny and by then I was bored of the mist so found the easy path to they dry dam and down to haggis Knowe. Back via the crags and the paint shop.

In a bit of an odd mood over the past few days. Not sure I know what I am training for any more.

Trail running 45:54 [3] 5.93 mi (7:44 / mi)

Southern Craiglockhart from work, along the canal to Craiglockhart on the way out, back via Myreside and HP to the canal. Hot! Nearly got hit by a golf ball on the top of the hill. Happy doing 7:10-ish min/miling on the canal which was good.
5 PM

Trail running 39:25 [3] 4.41 mi (8:56 / mi)

The good thing about being a BlackRocker is that they have lots of nutty things they do to keep their employees happy. Please come along and watch the Germany South Korea match in work time while we ply you with ice cold soft drinks and nibbles (beer tomorrow though I can’t make it, and Friday afternoon off at 3 cause it is sunny and I don’t work Fridays. You win some...). So 2 Irn Brus and a very exciting last 10 mins of the match was perfect prep for my run. Caffeine-tastic!

It was still hot hot hot though, as I slogged it over the meadows, down Castro and up the crags home.
