Barriers

First long run of the year. Or maybe better to say longer. Probably doesn't count as long until you hit 20 miles. Along Water of Leith until it hits the canal. Then back through Meadows and down Royal Mile. Target time was 10km an hour, but managed a little faster and hit the half marathon distance just under 2 hours. Now need to be disciplined and have a couple of days of recovery runs.

Picture is of one of the fences I had to climb over along the way. This part of Water of Leith has been fenced off for more than a year with no real evidence of a problem or a solution and most seem just to climb over it. A lot more straightforward than the trees on the riverbank in Weybridge.
