Ouch !

Tooth pulled.

Pentland Skyline

Max and Colin went for a long walk around the Pentland Skyline route. It was a nice and cool start at 8.15 and the clouds hung around for the first 3 hours which made for ideal walking conditions. The sky then cleared for a lovely sunny afternoon and reasonably high temperatures of around 18 degrees.
Max managed his feet well and avoided blisters by removing his socks. Food and water just lasted us to the end. Around 8 hours to get round 16 miles and 6200 ft of ascent.

Allermuir with Hannah

Hannah went up Allermuir with Colin on a hot Friday evening. Lovely but challenging conditions. Stopped off on the way back for a coke at Swanston Golf Course.

Great Edinburgh Run

Very hot temperatures for this big city centre 10 k race. Felt in good form and running quite nicely but time was really slow at around 53 mins 50 secs. Partly lack of hard training and partly the hot temps.

Dollar Hill Race

First long (or I think technically a Class A Medium) race in a while. Temperatures very high which made racing challenging. I was well prepared with lots of water and food in my backpack and started really slowly to ensure I would still be running at the end. Found it very tough and didn't move particularly fast round the course. 7 distinct named summits, with four above 600 m and the highest at 670 m. Race starts with a long tough climb up to Saddle Hill after which you stay up on the high grounds until the long descent at the end.

Camin 98th of 112 in 160% of the winning time. Not too bad given the length and conditions.

Finished with some nasty blisters resulting from the amount of up and down hill.

Dollar looks a nice place for a future visit.

Street O in the Old Town

A bit of an error prone run round the Old Town starting by Parliament. Nice evening.
