| (rest day) |
| 3 hours more walking around NYC then a veeeery slow moving journey to Boston. I managed to buy no clothes at all. The dull headache of the last few days has finally receeded, so will hopefully feel up to training ina couple of days. |

| (rest day) |
| Travel to New York. Took a rest day but walked around for 3 hours in flats with bare feet and got massive blisters. Not sure what I think of New York really...it's certainly no Rome! |

| Cycling 14:37 [2] | |
| ahr:108 max:152 (rest day) |
| Cycling into work but not back. Still feeling rubbish, head like it's in a vice and throat tickling, then got some totally rubbish news from supervisor (bye bye Jukola and Estonia) and was in far too much of a state to do anything but cry at Rob and pack for the States. Shite. |

| Cycling into work and back. Felt like shite and couldn't get heart rate up even in ORchard Brae, so took a rest day. |

| Cycle into work, Edinburgh bizarrely gridlocked again for a lunchtime. |
| Recovery 46:12 [3]6.0 mi (7:41 / mi) | |
| ahr:164 max:183 shoes: Blue Saucony Grid |
| Run from work down the Water of Leith and through Stockbridge and Inverleith Park. Feeling tons better than I did for any of last week, the rest must have done me good. Legs had power, was cruising pretty fast. |

| slept:12.0 (rest day) |
| Slept for 12 hours until I woke up at lunchtime, then spent the day in the Botanic Gardens with Rob, reading Cosmo in the sunshine. Feeling a lot better now. I need to get my weeks sorted so I rest and sleep properly after these longs runs, as I'm assuming this is what's knocking me out. When I'm back from the States they'll be done routinely on Saturdays so that I can rest and do nothing or very short O on Sunday. Plan! |

| Event: Scottish Championships

| Warm up & strides 9:44 [3] | |
| ahr:156 max:173 (rest day) shoes: Integrators |
| Bugger. Made it as far as that start for the Scottish Champs having slept all the way on the bus and then for an hour before I got ready, but by the time I got there I felt dizzy and out of breath and decided starting would be a rather silly idea, and so walked back. Rubbish. Not feeling exactly ill, just uber uber tired - I never sleep on minibuses, especially not after a full night's sleep. Whacked. Sold lots of cakes instead, which was fun! |
