May 2nd - River Teviot

Ankle feeling reasonably robust today. Once the haze had burnt off it was glorious and sunny. Nipped into Kelso in the afternoon and had a wonderful 45-minute run along the Teviot to Roxburgh and back. Path a bit more technical than I've ever noticed before, with plenty of twists and turns and half-buried rocks to skip around. Ankle no worse after 45 minutes than it had been after 10, which I suppose is encouraging.
Lovely displays of primroses, dandelions and forget-me-nots, and a heady smell of wild garlic, which had my juices flowing even before I ran past Springwood, where some bugger was cooking a bacon roll! Mmmmmm!
