CoVid Christmas

With Christmas cut down to 1 day Colin drove to and from Glasgow morning and evening to collect Max and bring him to Edinburgh for Christmas day. We weren't quite sure what to expect on the roads with the potential for a lot of traffic so it was a very early start for the drive through. It turned out the roads were pretty quiet which made for a fairly relaxed set of journeys.

Apart from that it was a fairly typical Christmas Day with Les as usual joining us just for the day.


The last few days of the year saw lots of heavy snow in Edinburgh.

Early December 2020

Lots of work meetings in early December as usual kept Colin busy with loads of reading and long Zoom meetings.

Completed 6 weeks of the Duathlon training plan. It was a good experience and I enjoyed the structure and simplicity of knowing what training to do each day. A good plan for lockdown as most of the running was locally round the Meadows and the cycling indoors on the trainer. Running speed improved a little and there were good gains on the bike. Whilst enjoyable decided to stop after 6 weeks and not do the second half to allow for a bit more fun and interest in my fitness activities.
