Lazy weekend, had to get out in the evening though, eased the legs off around meadows and marchmont.

Park run. Pretty good conditions but a little bit too much wind. They were down on volunteers today so no km markers and somehow my garmin was on miles but didn't realise that until after so was all on my own. Had my km splits from dad and thought I knew roughly where the first km was but I was wrong. Realised around halfway I must be ahead of the pace I had intended but didn't feel awful. Kept pushing, was in a wee group for a bit but some got away and I pushed away from other. Once I got to the trees knew I was not far from the finish so pushed. So shocked to see the time. Had been intending to run 19:20. Also pretty gutted as so close to under 19 which dad said would be the aim on a track for end of summer. Definitely achievable.
PB by 27secs for the park run and 13secs overall.

Easy then fartleck up and down Bongate, 800m each way to waken the legs up for tomorrow.

Went to doctors morning before went away.
All the information together from all blood tests, seeing sports doctor and optician shows that I had a virus which is taking a while to clear up due to exams, races etc. He told me to go away on holiday and enjoy myself and with no pressure head aches and glazed sight should go.
As well as this although my blood tests show normal iron levels the sports doctor wanted them done again as wanted my feritin to be above 30 or something and mine was only 22. I have now been put on different iron tablets.
Nice to finally have some answers. Still annoyed about the timing of it all but last week has shown my true form.
Tummy felt a bit weird to being with when away on iron but settled. Began to feel better while away. Not feeling quite so good now back but think it is just tiredness. No headaches.

Easy town run with dad with a wee bit of fartleck.

Easy run with Mum up towards the castle. Legs very tired.
