Well that was a fairly active week I've trooped up Arthur's Seat (and down again, of course). Been up and down Princes Street and the Royal Mile more times than I can count, done all the museums and galleries. Then we came back up here where we had a wander out to Culloden and I did my usual knicking tourists from their guides because my stories were more interesting than theirs (I told the tale from my ancestors' point of view as that's how my family ended up here from Mull). After that we pootled off to Skye for the day and had a good wonder round there as well (it rained - which, for those of you who know the island, is no great surprise).

According to the gadget over the last 10 days my total is almost 45 miles.

That's fantastic Ally! Not only the distance, but all the wonderful places you have been 🙂

I've just started my running again after an extended layoff due to being away from home and getting a bad cough. It hurts, but I have the Great South Run at the end of the month so need to get the miles built up. have done 5 miles over the past two days, plus some gardening 🙂
 
Only 3.5 mile walk this morning but I will try and keep a tally.
How much distance has been achieved so far?

Well done Richard - how's the knee holding up? 🙂

Ok so far thanks - but have only done shorter distances than 7K where the problems started. Did some fartlek sessions for the first time at the running club under the guidance of the coach. Should help improve my speed!

Wow Richard, well done - sounds like you're really enjoying running with the club 🙂 The next time I watch the Great North Run, I expect you will be one of the people that Crammy and Brendan refer to as the 'good club runners' 🙂

About time I updated the journey too! 🙂

Thanks. Yes it's good to run with others as slow as myself!

I'm hoping to do the Great North Run next year - thats about twice as far as I've ever run before 😱

I've just signed up for the Bath half marathon in March! 😱 Do you have a place for the GNR or are you still waiting to find out, or intending to run for a charity?

Great! Are you aiming for a fast time? I've resgistered an interest in the GNR which means I'll get an email when public entries open. Failing that places can become available nearer the date if you know someone who is withdrawing

Crikey! I'd forgotten about this! I'll have to add up the miles of all my daily walks since my last post.

Andy 🙂
 
I've been slacking I'm afraid what with one thing and another. Are we there yet?
 
50 minute Susie walk Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday this week (or everyday apart from Wednesday:D)
 
Are we still doing this or should I stop posting on it? Susie is very happy five more fifty minute walks with me this week plus I swam 22 lengths on Saturday. Having smoothies before I do anything in the morning plus having a vitamin tablet seems to be helping my energy levels:D
