More ming weather in Loughborough. This was the only free time today, and 8 miles in 7:30 miling was on the plan. I really struggle with running first thing - just can’t run hard - so was pleased with getting out there, and pleased with 7:50miling. I haven’t decided whether to do the BSBM so was not running on the campus, just ran down roads, picking them if they were not too busy. Found some hills alas. Ran out for 4 miles and turned around. It was quite loopy and repetitive but got it done.

Picking up a parcel via the meadows, which was too big for me to run home with. Bummer. Nice morning for a walk tho.

Weary this morning, but took my iPod with me. First shuffle song was “don't stop believing”, which is the absolute best HBT wassail song, so had me grinning and laughing all the way up the hill.

4 x 1 mile with 400m rec.

In Loughborough for a conference. Uni tracks are tough, esp Loughborough where everyone is young and fit. Tired and ming weather so pleased to get it done.

Warm up and down

Ray is back but I am single-parenting again for the evening. How did that happen?

Along the canal to the water of leith and back.

Still single parenting. The best opportunity for running evaporated when Lucy got all upset at a school football match and she needed me to console her instead. Sigh.

Rest day. Single-parenting. Scottish Schools was exciting though! Lots of people running well. Lots of smiles. And all 28 Preston Street kids came back - even if Mr McLean had to go out on the hunt for some of them.

Last day at BlackRock. Yay! Negotiated an early finish. Yay! Extra good as Ray is off to his brothers stag do for a few days so I am home alone, and skiving off early meant I got a chance to do a run. It was v hot today. For Edinburgh that is. Did the first half of last nights sprintelope then a lap of the meadows. Legs tired.
