running 1:31:37 [3] 11.64 km (7:52 / km) +657m 6:08 / km
shoes: inov8 O-rock 280
From the house, into cathkin park, then terrain running across to the eastern slopes of the Matterhorn, all the way along the ridgeline to the trig beacon, then a slow scramble down to a path and along there+a bit of a loop back to the road, then a bit of a leg stretch down to the house along the grass verge.
Such a stunning route!!!
Brought the old o rocks out of retirement and it turned out to be perfect when it startled drizzling and everything was rather muddy. Need to try coerce them to 1000km :p

(rest day) shoes: Inov 8 trail talon 250
Got going a bit late this morning and only arrived late afternoon, but had still planned on a quick jog up the matterhorn. Unfortunately my arrival coincided with a thunderstorm and I wasn't keen on getting struck by lightning, so waited until that had passed by which time it was nearly dark, so just a short out and back into Catholic park. Some pretty great views of lightning strikes in the distance!
