Cycling (Road) 1:02:36 [3] 25.75 km (24.7 kph) +330m
ahr:139 max:159 shoes: SPDs

Feeling very wiped out today, and with Beccy still under the weather we wasted most of what was a sunny day... but I pushed myself out at 5pm and was glad that I did, as I felt OK on the bike. Up to Sherrifmuir and nearly all the way to Blackford, then turned around and came back. It's definitely getting colder... longs were required.

Running (Trail) 43:00 [2] 6.68 km (6:26 / km) +145m 5:48 / km
ahr:129 max:143 shoes: Inov8 RocLite 305

A very pleasant and sociable gentle run in the late afternoon with Louise and Gary from Hillside of Keir, over the hill, over the pipe bridge and back via Darn Path. The trees were getting jostled around in the high winds but I can't say that I noticed - must have been talking too much, not like me :-). Louise managed to keep up her end of the conversation whilst still recording a PB, good show! Thanks both.

Running warm up/down 8:53 [3] 1.96 km (4:32 / km) +35m 4:10 / km
ahr:145 max:156 shoes: Inov8 RocLite 305

Warm up running from the house to Hillside of Keir. Felt very bouncy in my nice new shoes. It's only when you get new ones that you realise how tired your old shoes had become...

Running warm up/down 8:27 [3] 1.76 km (4:48 / km) +45m 4:15 / km
ahr:145 max:160 shoes: Inov8 RocLite 305

Back home from Hillside of Keir. Still feeling bouncy.

Gym (Cross-trainer) 31:30 [3] 6.25 km (5:02 / km)
ahr:146 max:163

Pushed quite hard - although HR not too high, must be time to up the effort level again.

Gym (Strength training) 15:00 [2]

Working the "guns" as the whippersnappers would say - ha! Spud guns or pea shooters, more like.

Cycling (Road) 55:36 22.21 km (24.0 kph) +185m
ahr:132 max:157 shoes: SPDs

Hooray, back on the bike at last! Despite being late - B and I had to pull together to get Jamie and ourselves out of the house at 8 - it was such a lovely morning that I took the longer route from Linlithgow to Livingston, via Torphicen, Bathgate, and cycle route 73. I wasn't feeling too sprightly, but it was a gorgeous, crisp, morning to savour as I dawdled along. I love this time of year. I'm not looking forward to the winter ice and dark nights, though...

Cycling (Road) 45:25 18.6 km (24.6 kph) +230m
ahr:136 max:160 shoes: SPDs

Return cycle, directly over the hills this time. Feeling tired and slow.

Running (Easy run) 46:59 8.82 km (5:20 / km) +185m 4:49 / km
ahr:146 max:161 shoes: Inov8 RocLite

Feeling pretty sh*t really - but my back felt a bit better afterwards

Running (Trail) 55:00 [3] 11.21 km (4:54 / km) +175m 4:33 / km
ahr:153 max:167 shoes: Inov8 RocLite

A run in the rain to let off steam after a half-hour stand up shouting match on the phone with my favourite 'customer'. I'd have run fast if my back hadn't still been killing me, but enough pressure was released for me to regain my composure. Nice to be running in the (warm) rain again, although the paths were disappointingly not very muddy - not even the Darn Path, nor the climb up the steep path to Pisgah.

Note
(rest day)

A visiting guest to say goodbye to in the morning so no cycle to work, and B was out tonight so no circuits. Bah. Bah. Black Sheep. etc. Ange popped by, though, before heading off to cycle the length of South America for the next seven months; I felt even more unfit, just from talking to her!
