Edinburgh

So. I managed two runs while I was in Edinburgh

First one was fine. Early-ish morning. Down to the local park, around the local park, over the road, up to the next park and yes, two and a half miles does seem to cover an awful lot of ground. But do the run, get back to the flat - up 8 flights of stairs and collapse, relatively gracefully, into the shower.

Second run was intended to be two miles. With the new pedometer this in fact turns out to be rather further than previous day's two and a half. And with the addition of late night pizza plus slightly too much to drink the night before, it felt like about five times as far....

Complete the run, eventually. Get back to the flat, stagger up the 8 flights of stairs and vow never to combine late night pizza and early morning run again. This may mean avoiding early morning runs.
