Up to 1st November

Away on holiday this week in Dumfries.

Monday 26th October – 5k from campsite. Felt very slow. Weather windy.

Tuesday 27th October – 10k from campsite. I had spotted a tower in the distance, a brief google showed that it was a monument to (the battle of) Waterloo. I tried to run up to it, but first went to a spooky abandoned museum. A murder scene in waiting. The correct path turned out to be un-runnably steep. Oh, but what an adventure! The tower at the top had a spiral staircase ending in a barrier-less tiny platform with amazing views! Then back to family life.

Wednesday 28th – Bikeride at Mabie forest. 27k in total. Nice.

Thursday 29th – 8k Easy from campsite.

Friday 30th – 18k from home. I think I have done this route twice, and I have cycled it a few times too. Something about it makes it feel like it is uphill all the way. Average pace 5:28/km. Slow.

Saturday 31st October – 50k bike ride in the rain.

Sunday 1st November – 10k on the treadmill.
