Hmm. That was the most horrendous cycle to work ever, about 6 minutes of it must have been spent at red lights or stuck behind cars in bus lanes blocking the whole road. The morning cycle is supposed to relax me and wake me up, not leave me arriving at work in a huge angry ball of rage. Got to try some different longer routes I think!

This time I sneaked through to George Street and went over the bridges - started well but soon got just as bad as the morning. Down to Grassmarket on Thursday I think (have to drop Jeff off for his super expensive MOT etc tomorrow so will probs just run into the lab afterwards.

Whoo! After a grey day the evening turned lovely and I hit the Seat for what was supposed to be 30 mins of 90 x 30s and was so awesomely fun that it turned into 40 mins going up to the top of every proper hill on the Holyrood map. The last rep by Dunsapie Loch up that hill was totally maximal, actually couldn't move for a minute after that. Awesome. Good strides and nice 10 min warm down at the end. Brilliant.

Good stretch on the grass by the Seat. Left bum cheek still tight but better than yesterday. Left knee a bit sore after the session but better than yesterday, and no pain whilst cycling today either. I'm going to make a huge effort to stretch properly from now on, though we'll see how long this lasts once the nights and rain draw in.
