Today was the Bupa Great Edinburgh Run. Despite a week of balmy blue-sky days, the cloud - and then the rain - descended on Edinburgh with a vengeance over the weekend. When the time came for Holly's mini run this afternoon, the clouds didn't exactly part but the rain at least let up a little to let the huge number - there must have been hundreds - of 4-8 year olds take to the streets for 1.5km. The atmosphere was excellent, with smiles and healthy glows all around, kids and adult helpers alike. Holly took it all in her stride - pun intended - and ran the whole way with Helen, and still had the energy for a sprint at the end. She was - rightly - really pleased with herself and we're really proud of her. Maybe Louis will come along next year too. For my part, I did the 10k in the morning after a month of half-hearted training. I pulled a calf muscle in the second kilometre, but managed to finish 4s inside my target of 50 mins. It was hard work. I'll post my Garmin GPS/HR track in due course for all you fans of excess data.
