Pentlands with Spud, Fiona and Sasha in some fairly horrendous conditions. Just about kept warm enough but was very much a head down get it done job, wasn't partaking in much of the chat tbh. Solid week.

East League XC - Hawick. 15th.
Fun course, little bit of horse racing track then mostly boggy and undulating sheep fields. Went VJs though not spikes to help protect the achilles. First small lap was quite fast but felt comfy, then out onto two big laps, first one still felt well in control and also spotted Ruaridh and Telfer not far ahead at the end of it. 2nd big lap got pretty grindy on the two long headwind sections and couldn't close the gap to the boys ahead. Lost a couple places on the muddiest bit of the last lap, not quite managing to dig to bottom of the well. Rallied a bit on the firmer ground and was happy to see sub 30 at the end. Good to be back on the XC scene, and legs seem to have cooperated ok, hammies and glutes tightened a bit towards the end but nothing major. Muddiest I've been in a long time!

Today felt like the first day of winter. A bit tired despite a big sleep, calves a bit tight and wet enough that finding soft but not slippy ground is harder. Feel like you could get injured on any run which makes it a bit less enjoyable. Hey ho, east league tomorrow hopefully which should be good fun.

PFH, with Sasha up to Allermuir then solo home. Very mild morning but then gale force wind and misty rain on the top was a bit grim. Quick turnaround from yesterday but everything felt pretty normal, no worrying niggles.

Running 1:14:44 15.52 km (4:49 / km) +82m 4:41 / km
10mins (2mins), 4 x 5mins (1min) on KF.
Decent group down, though stringing out a bit rather than staying compact but maybe it'll come. Working well on and off with Thompas, Joe and Cornetto. Blooming windy though so paces all over the place. Also achilles feeling completely fine.
