| Usual loop down the Water of Leith to Stockbridge and back to the Western while my Western blot (no relation) was running. DOMS are subsided and though the first mile was achey again the rest were good. | ||

| Okay, so while I have achieved virtually nothing in the lab this week (grow cells, grow!) I have just spent the last hour in succeeding in fixing my heart rate monitor. Go me! | ||

| My god, this was a toughie. Found an exciting new cycle track that enables 2.8 or so miles of totally flat traffic free running, which was awesome - for long could start at Murrayfield end of Roseburn path. This whole thing hurt a lot, but then I haven't run at any kind of speed for about a month. Think a combo of the DOMS, plus the lack of fitness, but every step killed! Kept a good pace, last mile slightly slower but did turn and wave at Snook at shout "Can'ty stop" whilst running up a small hill. So I'll let myself off. Miles in:
6.33, 6.34, 6.40 Ouch. | ||

| Run back from Canonmills to the Western. DOMS not so bad now, but can't imagine the cycle home being much fun. | ||

| Strength 59:09 [3] | |
| shoes: Blue Saucony Grid | ||
| No heart rates as HRM band is brokwn, must send that off pretty soon. So, finally made it into the gym at a vaguely reasonable time of 8.20am, feeling actually awake, and did my first strength session in aaaaages. Felt good, bet it doesn't feel that good tomorrow!

| Not that I've got much running to recover from, but this morning I guess! Wasn't scheduled to run today but as I haven't run for weeks thought I'd try a short one and see how I felt. Legs stiff, not surprising, but not short of breathe etc as I was worried might be the case from trying to carry my bike up the stairs last night! I guess considering the time interval since my last run, I didn't feel too bad at all. Wish I knew what my heart rate was up to though. Anyone in Burgh have an old one to lend me until mine's fixed? | ||

| Cycling 40:00 [2] | |
| Wow. Today I slept until 7am, found I was actually physically incapable of getting up, and so went back to sleep. I finally woke up at 3.30pm, and then headed into work to sort out my cells, only to find they hadn't grown anyway because the incubator was broken. I then went back to bed at 10pm, and slept until 6.30 Wednesday morning. Heck. | ||
Monday Jun 16 | ||
| Note | |
| Bleurgh, I still appear to be totally jet lagged and am feeling incapable of much other than a cycle to work. I am truly the most rubbish of international travellers. | ||
| Cycling 37:00 [2] | |
| Still feeling so tired I can barely open my eyes, and so just the cycle into work and back. | ||
