Running stripes.

Another beautiful Sunday morning today. Blue skies, mild temps and not too much wind. More good running weather. We ran a route going from Bonaly over to Glencourse then back to Harlaw and down Torphin hill. Beth's GPS informed us that it was 7.89 miles, although I added approx 4 extra miles as I ran from my house rather than drive to our meeting point and back.

It took me roughly 2 hours, but it was fairly tough going at some points as the ground was extremely water logged and slippy with mud. There was a fair amount of up hill too! The old legs were starting to get a bit stiff by the time I got home, but as ever it felt good for my mind and soul.

I am still trying to keep up my photo a day project, so decided to play a little with my camera. Not much came out the way I had hoped, but at least I tried. Hopefully get better with more practice. Here are a couple of the not so terrible ones.

Sunset Sunday.

It has been a very cold but beautiful day here in Auld Reekie, so I have tried to take advantage of this great weather as best I can.

Started the day with fine hour longish run with the girls over Torphin/Bonaly way. Then took myself for a boulder down at Alien 2. Although indoors it was still quite baltic. Then raced up the crags at Arthurs Seat to try and get a photo of the sunset. I probably should have stayed a while longer but I was getting cold and I think I should have had my tripod too. Never mind, next time.

Great wee day.
