Very low energy levels today. Trundling first around our nice new area at Almondell, then looking at the North wood across the M8 from Dechmont, which is nice but featureless and awkward to get to. Finally, running around on Dechmonet as james pulled steadily through the field to come 38th in the Schools XC. freddiec in phenomenal form cruising away from the field for a massive win.

C • North of M8 & Dechmont 5

In

Craigmillar, ERI, Greendykes, Thistle Foundation etc.

Work to Annandale St to collect a hirecar, via Holyrood Pk

In. then Mortonhall, some faffage on the braids and back though the Hermitage, getting passed by Donald Grigor moving at a rate of knots, while I was not moving at a rate.

In, there 1.5 laps with Paul and home

jarvis Intervals. Session was meant to be 8*400 with 2 mins recovery. In fact ran 8*2:40 on a loop of unspecified distance. Trailing the group which was doing 90sec for 400 suggests about 650.

Looking forward to getting out today, but a parade of work meant it got to 7 before I looked up. So round Frogstane and Buckstone in the dark and cold. Chucked in an extra km getting lost in Buckstone :(.

Still, very nice to be out running on fresh legs.

Northern Champs wipeout. Fender-bending crash on the way to the nights, missed it by the time it was sorted. Limped home, then spent Saturday waiting for a tow truck.
