Sat, 27 May- Long run 10km+-
No Hangover! Yay. (actually only had half a bottle of wine. And was asleep by 1.30am)
Hmmm.... sign of old age approaching!!!
Arrived at Arthurs Seat around 10am. Parked up the top. What a magnificent view. Took a few morning pics on my phone. Did a little warm up jog. then set off. Had to return to car 5mins afterwards 'cos my bloody i pod went flat on me. Decided to run on the other side of hill at Sea Winds. Lovely little goat tracks. I only had a vague idea of where i was going so the run became even more fun. There was a fair bit of down hill running, which after a while i noticed i was slapping my feet. i slowed it down a little and that seemed to help a bit. Was enjoying the downhill very much until my watch said 30 mins. (i thought i would add 10 mins to allow for up hill running) Turned around and realised that all that down hill running was now about to bite me in the bum! Pumped the arms as much as i could (without killing myself' as i was instructed) tried to work through it and even said that out loud! Eventually had to walk a fair few meters of it in sections. Heaps of puffing, but was able to recover as the hills weren't constant. Some relief here and there.
Got back to the car a little early so headed off in another direction. Ended up doing 68mins. 2 mins shy of goal.
Put skins on immediately. Ate Pria bar, drank some water and did lots of stretches. Legs were feeling ok at this stage.
Kept skins on until 5pm. By that stage, i was hanging for a shower!
Felt buggered from today and last night so went to bed just after 8. OMG!

lol at the hills! At least when Rogo takes us on his magical mystery tours all the hills are at the start so we get them over and done with (even if the last one took us an hour of running to get to the top OMG!)
Great work Crissy - and don't forget to drink lots of water ;)

Rolling hills probably would have been better, but a hill is a hill, should make the legs stronger.
