Busy night last night. Sleeping day.

Managed to get some sleep at work last night so up mid afternoon for a wee run. Out through Hyndland then botanics-Queen Margaret Drive - Ruchill Park (not especially nice but a change of scene) River kelvin - Kelvingrove Park - Hyndland - home. Tired to begin with then felt ok.

First time out on the road bike for a wee while. Set off towards Milgavnie, then got a bloody puncture at Anniesland cross. Changed the tube and got going again. next developed a rattle, seems the new back set of cogs I'd fitted hadn't been tightened well enough but managed to tighen it by hand. had to stop twice more to do this in Strathblane but it held after that. Went out through Strathblane then to lennoxtown then up the crow road. Tough but nice climb. Over the other side through Fintry to Killearn. Nice Road this apart from the surface which is a bit shitty. Turned off in Killeran accross to the A809 and back in towards Glasgow. Though this would be mostly downhill but fair bit of climb still to negotiate. Pushing pretty hard as Jess was waiting for me and I was a wee bit late with the mechanical issues. and my phone was out of battery. Despite the issues early on, a crackin cycle.

Wee run in the Kilpatricks with Jess. Was a bit of a shuffle after the cycle but a very enjoyable one. Good days training.

Now I have a 13hr night shift ahead of me to recover from today. great....

Victoria park x 3 and the college

Nice day. managed to leave work slightly early so headed to Pollock Park for some daylight running. With Jess for the first bit then did 8 hil rfeps up grassy slope near the house then a bit of tempo before finishing. Good to get out.
