Nicola had organised a couple of runs last night, and I was asked to lead the mid-paced run of up to 10 people. In the end we had 7, which was remarkable in itself given the monsoon conditions. I’d been running a Green Craig circuit on a Wednesday to/from the location of my son’s football training (Tesco, Colinton), so we decided to head out from there and do the circuit in reverse. This avoided the nasty climb up the old military road, and we don’t want to put off the newbies on their first outing, do we?
We lost one before Swanston Village – sorry Fiona! I may have made the pace quicker than ‘mid’ – and thereafter enjoyed a well-paced 10k, taking in a selfie on the summit of Green Craig. Invariably, it cleared up as we finished. A positive return to Wednesday night running.
