Family day yesterday, but managed to get out for a short jaunt today before heading off to the swimming pool. Made a short loop on the public paths surrounding Casa Osborn. "Right of way" paths here are crazy, hopping from stile to stile, vague arrows pointing across random fields, pot luck if they point in the direction of the next stile. None of that actual "path" stuff. At least I didn't find any that went straight through a huge herd of bullocks or across a field of barley.
Another day of legs-on-backwards-ness. Or maybe they're the right way round and its the rest of me that's backwards. That would explain a lot.
Note - given the distance of my run, I should have tried harder to make my route follow the shape of the M25, as per Messrs Gaiman & Pratchett...

Woke up to glorious sunshine in Telford, but we weren't staying there long enough to allow me to slope off for a run. Thankfully the sun was still shining when we arrived in Devon, so I went out for a little pootle to un-seize. I stayed mostly on road, exploring the 'local' village, Blackawton. Really hilly roads around here! Felt incredibly un-runner like, but the warm sunshine was nice.

Heading off on holiday today - back sore, so stopped work a little early to squeeze in a short, easy trot around the streets of Dunblane before cramming the family into a car and heading off down the M6. Legs on backwards, very stiff through my lower back too; crip.

LSD. The sun began to peek through the mists just in time for a lunchtime run.
I need to start getting some base back, so the fine weather was a cue for a long(ish) slow terrain run from Dunblane to Dumyat and back. Headed out via Cocksburn reservoir - v boggy - to Lossburn track, then up the shoulder; hit snow near the top and had great views of the Ochils through swirling mists. Came back down the main track - very, very, sloppy and slippery, so very slow! - then headed off across the fields north of Pendreich reservoir to try to pick up the bridge on old Glen road. Went slightly awry in the shifting visibility but found it reasonably quickly, then back up the road to home.
Very slow but satisfying. My bad R ankle was quite sore afterwards, but it'll pass...
