pentlands reservoir cycle (chris)

Not long back from Steve's flat. Took a watch of the scotland game. usual story - massive optimism swiftly followed by massive dissapointment! If we dont beat leichienstein on tuesday then we are screwed and can safely say cheerio to another major tourney. ach they played decent. tried hard etc etc but get little jimmy mcfadden starting EVERY scotland game in the future!!
Narda looks fit to burst. Pretty sure she's been pregnant for like a whole year now. Hurry up and have your baby! Along with the football, dinner was provided. And of course muffins. Yum.

Stuart and myself are attending the 5k Parkrun tomorrow morning. Stuart seemed to enjoy his first one last week even though it was tough going especially into that wind along the home straight. I managed to chop 31seconds of my best time meaning my personal best now stands at 19mins 17secs. Very chuffed with that. Finally got round to calibrating my nike plus wristband last nite so will time my 5k tomorrow myself which will be handy. Probably shouldn't have the 4 laps running and 4 laps walking before football training mind.

Done a fair bit of cycling this week. Went out towards Edinburgh zoo on Wednesday night after work. Probably done about 10miles in total that day.  Still going every day to work. Could do without it being uphill all the way though!  Today after work cycled up to the Pentlands reservoir with Stuart and Steven. Was cracking. Some beautiful scenery up there. Just annoyed I hadnt been up sooner and that summer is coming to an end....Round trip of 20miles. Took about 2 hours with a couple of stops along the way. Felt good and a tad more confident of the trip next year. Took a few wrong turns but hey thats half the fun i guess. Could of done without actually having to cycle through someones farmyard type area. Saw some cows. Took some photos. All good.
