Skyline

I got my much-needed run today, but not the way I'd expected. After getting a call from an old friend, I ran the 5km over to Flotterstone to meet up and watch the Pentland Skyline race come through, standing on the lower slopes of Turnhouse (pictured). Then I left him and ran through the tail end of the race over Turnhouse and Carnethy before dropping back down to the house. I arrived just in time to go and fetch Mme A from the airport. 

Last night I got an email to say that my former student and I had won the prize for the best paper (of 92) for 2015 in a good international journal in my field: that's the third time I've won it - and no-one else has won it more than once - and I'm still buzzing!
