Training

Monday nighters out for a night run with head torches to burn off some of those Christmas calories - shame about adding them back on again with burgers and nachos at The Espy.

8 out from Portobello Swim Centre. Very fortunate to not see any rain during their 6.5 mile run.

Encouraged by the appeal of good food and a couple of drinks afterwards, a group of 16 faced the 800 steps of ERN's infamous 'Jakey Trot' for our pre-Christmas 'Chooseday' night run.

Well done to everyone who took part in the Little ERN Christmas 10K. Probably the mildest one we've had for a while. 27 runners out altogether including Alan and Sam visiting from the USA.

Good turnout this morning; 18 runners (+ 2 dogs) mostly on the 8 mile route. Nice cuppa in the Dean Gallery afters where we met up with Eleanor. Mostly stayed dry but a heavy shower for some near the end.

Tourist Trail, with added Christmas illuminations

13 came out to Marchmont on a breezy Sunday morning for a trip to the top of Blackford Hill and, for those going long, on to Braid Hils, before returning to Marchmont for refreshments at Freemans.

Thanks to Andy Duncan for a lovely trail run yesterday (and the coffee and cakes!)

Good workout tonight on "Hilly Lilly"

Thanks to Eleanor and Andrew for tonight's run. 16 out for a nice steady 5 miler.
