TIR session down at Holyrood High (thought the grass would be good for my legs)

10mins Tempo (5mins)
2x 3:40mins (2mins)
4x 40sec (2mins)

Took an eternity to get the motivation up to leave the house, then even longer to start the intervals once I was there. Unfortunately didn't get any easier once I got going and was a bit of a grind to get it done, but hey first session done! Best part was when it tipped it down for the final few reps :)

Grass track was no longer there so just ran circles round the cricket pitch and changed from distances to times.

More Pentlands! My favourite running conditions in the fog and warm rain.

With Jonny and Peter to begin with along the tracks from Penicuik then usual way back to Morrisons. Feeling quite good on the climbs until the last couple of minutes of the final climb.

BMC 5000m - Glasgow

Initially a bit annoyed as the slowest race was going to be paced at 17.15mins! But a couple of the other girls were also aiming for about 18.30 and were pacing really even laps so just sat in behind them and tried to hang on as long as possible. Started to become a grind with 6 laps to go and had to force myself to stay with the other two. Our times had started to drop to about 18.32 pace so knew I had to really dig in for the final 800m and managed to claw 5 secs back.

Really happy with this race as I paced it super evenly the whole way...always within a second or two of my target pace. And off no speedwork at all this year, hopefully my pb time isn't too far out of reach.

3x 1 Mile Relay - Leg 1

Had always wanted to do this but always clashed with important races in the weekend afterwards. This was my last chance to do it before leaving Edinburgh so thought I'd go along and cruise at a decent pace with Friday's race in mind. Then got put on the first leg so obviously my competitiveness kicked in and couldn't help myself but go fast!
Started off about 5th woman and gradually moved my way past people as the fast starters started to suffer. Then coming round the last bend I was about 5 metres behind the 1st woman so obvs had to take her! haha.

Cycling was always going to win over aquajogging on a day like this! Absolutely roasting!

Headed out to Dalmeny then turned left and went exploring along some paths towards Kirkliston. First path was lovely gravel path through some woods then second half turned quite narrow and stingy/prickly.
Then across to the canal at Ratho, past Heriot Watt to the WoL. Unfortunately got a puncture just heading out of Colinton so had a long walk home.

Easy round the swat and across to Craigmillar with Jonny. Legs feeling really tired but some spontaneous bouldering and rope swing cheered me up.

Hilly seat run. Thought I'd go up MFD before I leave Edinburgh as I've never done the whole thing in one go before....it was grim. Never again!! (except I was only 4sec off the record so maybe will have to give it another go!!).
Rest of the run was an absolute plod. No energy at all. But fun running in the torrential 'warm shower' rain.

Looping about Blackford on some tracks I don't normally run on. Good choice to be in the shade as I was melting in the open. Stomach still a bit dodgy.

Pentlands! Making the most of it as there won't be many more opportunities for this for a long time.

Hard effort up Allermuir then stomach started to cramp up so cruised across to Capelaw and back down.

Lovely sunny afternoon so off to the beach for lunch. Followed by a cycle along the coast to Prestonpans, some exploring of country lanes/tracks near Tranent and across to the Pencaitland railway. Then normal way back via Dalkeith across and Eskbank.

3 munros from Glen Etive with Jonny and Liam for the first, then on my own.
Bit of jogging to begin with then fast walking. Struggled a lot in the sun and was already feeling pretty dizzy and tired going up the first munro. Getting quite dehydrated across to 2nd and 3rd munros and having to ration my water but managed to fill up coming down the valley.

Such a lovely day to be out on the hills though. Awesome views from the tops, no wind at all and really hot. These definitely seemed like the hardest munros I've done so far...not the usual get to the top then quickly pick up a few more as the climbs/descents to each one were pretty steep.

2 long, busy days at work on my feet all day so too exhausted to do any training. Also trying to avoid what happened with my knee before Christmas when I was working long hours and still trying to train.

Sprintelope - Wester Hailes & Baberton

This felt like such a long way after the 8min sprints from the weekend!! Also found it impossible to read the 1:5000 scale on home-printed map after such nice printing in Belgium.
Felt alright to begin with but then the tiredness kicked in and was a struggle in the second half.
