| FVO Club Champs and I was rubbish - went completely awol for >10 mins at number 4, had the contours completely wrong and couldn't relocate for ages, didn't know what was going on! A shame as the new are (Sauchie Crags) was rough but good with some detailed bits - will be a challenge for the night race there soon I think.... |

| C • Stone 2 |
| Running tempo 40:00 [3] | |
| shoes: old Adidas trail things |
| Steady trot round Leckie woods loop with headtorch. Felt knackered on the climb and my leg hurt after all that physio treatment this afternoon! Lovely clear evening - although it was already down to minus two degrees when I set off... |
Wednesday Nov 21 |
| Intervals intervals 25:00 [5] | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline GTS |
| Nipped out to Hyde Park before the football - it was throwing it down with rain and I was drenched! 10mins warm up then 4 reps with 45 secs rest: 4:12, 4:14, 4:17, 4:14. Felt like I had to push v hard on the last one just to run the same time. Then a mere 3 mins warm down back to hotel - stiff today! |

| C • Good session! 1 |
Tuesday Nov 20 |
| Intervals intervals 25:00 [4] | |

| In London again and again v short of time because of work thing in evening - ran into Hyde Park for 10mins to warm up, only time for 9 45/15s and then 5 mins back to hotel.
Am falling apart - sole of foot still bruised from Sunday, knee still a bit sore and achilles not getting any better - back to physio on Friday for some pre LaSanta treatment! |

Sunday Nov 18 |
| Orienteering race 1:43:03 [3]*** 8.9 km (11:35 / km) +420m 9:22 / km | |
| spiked:19/22c shoes: VJ Falcon |
| National Event at Errochty. Running okay to start with but never pushing flat out. Sore knee tendons again after about 40mins which started to slow me down, starting to be a worry. Lost concentration near the end (#16) as all the rest looked easy, mis-located and wasted about 6-7 mins with big parallel error then standing around, stupid.
Need to get some new o-shoes - one of the spikes has twisted and the plate is sticking up inside the shoe - have v bruised ball of foot now. |
