Slow progress

A 4 mile run round my Dollar loop on Sunday and 4 miles at lunchtime yesterday. No hope of any more this week as I've got things on every lunch time and evening until Sunday again. Too busy.

Apparently the midnight sun marathon I mentioned in the last post is, like, a million miles from anywhere. Doesn't look like we've got the budget to get to northernmost Norway next year, at least. Not sure what holidays are on the cards at all, with my annual leave entitlement and salary yet to be confirmed I think I'll hold off booking anything until I know whether I have both time and money!

Passing thought

Loitering on the Runner's World forum (thinks: is there an apostrophe in the mag title?), I came across this:

Kind of tempting.

Leith run

Four miles down the Water of Leith on Sunday. Wanted to get it done first thing, but Al suggested a walk with Dougal and Callum, so did a hour's walk by Cramond first. Then managed to persuade Cal to come on the run on his bike and Al to do 30 mins of it too. Lovely weather for it, and made me feel better about the cake overdose that followed in celebration of Morag's birth.

Actually, didn't do it all along the water but turned off past some allotments and discovered a new tunnel has been opened by Tesco's leading to a delightful park. Which made a nice change.

Yesterday planned to go surfing but instead had a sore throat and cold so cried off. Feel much better now so am annoyed with myself for not going as I haven't been surfing in AGES. But then, maybe if I had gone I would now have double pneumonia. You never know.
