Once around the hill

in #running8 years ago

I was going to write mountain, but Blackford Hill is not that high. It's another lovely morning in Edinburgh. I did another random run around the Hermitage of Braid. This is just a great place to run with numerous tracks through the woods. It's well used by runners and dog walkers. I ran up as far as the observatory. How's that for a blue sky with the Moon too.

Some of my exploring lead to dead ends, but that's okay. You have to be careful as there are some steep, rocky slopes up there. I followed various paths back to 'civilisation', but I'd have preferred to stay away from the traffic. You can forget it for a while up on the hill. This was another run with lots of climbing.

I'll be back here some time and will explore some more.

Nice weather you have, its all blue here today too for a change. Makes me want to say at home for another 3 weeks.

I'll leave the uphill running to you thanks. Even @bingbabe stops going up hills.

I think the hills help build some strength. My brother in law does the 7 Hills race here. Not sure I'd get far in that

I need to get into posting under the running project. I may make a point of it after this pm's run!

It's a good excuse for a post and there's a good community of runners to support you

Yes, I've been meaning to do a weekly round up of runs for a while, just forever pushing it back!

What a lovely place to holiday. I was there 30 years ago. Beautiful, lovely view of the city. I've never been back, not even for the Edinburgh Festival, which I always fancied. Funny to think you were there today. :)

We've been to the festival before, but we just missed it this time

That looks like a lovely run @steevc. Glad the weather is being kind to you.
We've sun here too though so I can't complain. 😊

That's a great sky, it's all grey overhere and colder every day. They say next week will be some good days again.. I hope it will because we are going on a family weekend and I still am cold of the Belgium adventure :)

Nice results runnen again !!

It's great weather here today. You can never bet on it in Scotland

Beautiful picture! Looks like you are having a great time there and getting some stunning views. Also awesome that the weather is cooperating with you!

How can I get my legs back to normal quicker, between runs?

I find it just comes with time. Some days I could barely walk after a run

I've tried stretching, but it doesn't help that much. Its probably cause I'm not used to running. I'm gonna leave a few days between runs till I improve.

I don't do much stretching. Giving your body some recovery time is the best policy

Your run takes the shape of a boot kicking a rock, or maybe just me.

It looks as tough to climb as it is beautiful. I admire your fitness @steevc
