Nice sunny day. Really very nice and very sunny. Didnt want to ruin it by going running and feeling rubbish. So I left my run until I felt a bit better....

Cheeky run round Sauchie with Jase sharing a map and doing alternate controls, checking for windblow. Forest a bit rough in places but can't really blame that for going headlong over a fence! Found it pretty tough - I could swear putting a map in Jase's hand makes him run more quickly....

Windblow not too bad except across the path at the end - had to climb the crags to get back to the cars!

Then off to the uni to listen to Graeme Obree lecture followed by film about Leadville 100 MTB race. Busy evening!

C • Windblow 1

Seemed a shame not to be out in the hills in the glorious weather so time for a visit to Dumyat. Supposed to be doing hill reps but persuaded myself that my achilles was okay for a hilly run but not for reps, hmm.

Up Dumyat from the uni, down to the track junction by Lossburn Reservoir then straight back up again (the Ochil 2000s ascent route). Just about managed to run all the way back up.

Then gently back down and to the uni, legs suffering a bit more than I thought they should be.

Sitting back on the ankles even more painful than usual....

Achilles sore. Although legs surprisingly not too heavy after weekend. Still took it easy.
