Ra Run!
Saturday 5:22 p.m.
The run goes from here along Comely Bank and you turn up by the west end of Inverleith Park and go on up there until you hit the Ferry Road, and go right. Along there it's very nice and you get the whole Edinburgh skyline. What a brilliant day for running as well! Clear and bright and cold. You cut off the Ferry Road and head down past the east gate of the Botanicas, and you go right at Brandon Terrace. Just by here you can wimp out and head back to Stockbridge through the colonies, or go on up the big hill. Today, I went up the big hill for the first time in many months. To me this is an archetypical view of Edinburgh. The hill glides up and up, and perched at the top of it seems to be the Scott Monument, silohuetted black today against a pale blue sky. But it's probably best not to look up when you're actually doing the hill because it does seem like a long way up. I always cut out at Queen Street and head along back and down to Stockbridge that way because there's too many folk up at the George Street.
Two layers of wool, the sweatshirt, tee shirt and black plastic binliner. Weighed myself when I got back in. Twelve stone three pounds! What? You just look at a beer and you put on three pounds! It's enough to drive you to the drink, so it is!

I think that running to the drink will eat uop more calories.
Toyo! I'm blaming being a fat basturn on all this meditation! I don't even fidget for hours and hours every day. No, no! It's the beer! It's the beer! Hotboy
The 3 pounds might be sweat.
