With the news that the Royal Edinburgh is now an impassable building site 2 hospitals were deleted from the Hospital run. A quick Blackford Duckpond to The Hermitage and then on to The City Hospital, and a dive to Gillie’s house for a water stop, before heading over the Craiglockharts and back over Blackford. 8 reduced to 7 then 6 as Mary joined the fasties at Firhill, Gina and I slowed in an effort to save the knees for another day before regroupong at KB and heading to Leslie’s for a decent pint or three. Another great Wednesday run with Carnethy! Willie G |

Fastish run – | ||
In such heat last night, it was hard to run hard, so we just took it a bit easier and went for a plod to the Craiglockarts and then on to the edge of the Pentlands. More trails than hills last night, trying to get some shade as the sun beat down. Over the bypass everyone congratulated me on my route choice through a thick patch of tall gorse….well, I think they were congratulating me, it was hard to tell what was being said as they were also trying to wipe the blood pouring from their eyeballs. Ah, Willie would be proud! Back in along the usual Swanston route to the Hermitage, just as the haar was rolling in from the coast, back over Blackford and then home. Jim Hardie |
