Winter Warmers 5 km

Hannah entered the British Heart Foundation winter warmer event for a circuit of Holyrood Park. It was never quite clear whether this event was a walk or a walk and run. Hannah was definitely there for the former but most participants had come for a run. We set off at a good pace and had plenty of people behind us on the way up the hill. Hannah didn't quite find the puff for a run down the hill but got round in a very respectable 45 minutes and raised £65 for BHF.

Sigur Ros Inni

Went to see Sigur Ros movie INNI at the Queens Hall. Screening was of good quality with the sound crisp and clear and good and loud. Film was really excellent with the arty images and really intense ending. Stand out track Festival attached.

Dun Rig

Colin headed out for a walk in the hills by Peebles. Weather ok at lower levels but from about 550 m was cloudy and very wet. Couldn't navigate the planned route so went beyond Dun Rig and then retraced steps. About 4 hrs total walk.

Survival of the Fittest

Max headed out for the 10 K Survival of the Fittest race in Edinburgh. Lots of tough obstacles to negotiate. He did really well getting round in just over an hour and in the top half of the generally very fit looking field.

Had a nice meal out at Cafe Rouge in the evening.

John Muir Country Park

With Max Senior visiting we headed out to Dunbar and the wide beaches and dunes for a walk of 4 or 5 miles. A bit windy but the weather stayed quite nice. Beautifil scenery.

Enjoyed a nice tea on Friday night at Zizzi's.

Manor Water Hill Race

Max and Colin headed down to Peebles on a very wet Saturday afternoon. Max did well in the Junior race and was faster than Colin. Colin still not fully fit struggled up the hill getting a fairly poor time.

Max finally got recognition for his performance. First of 1 in the long junior he should have got a prize on the day but eventually got a voucher in the post several weeks later.
