A nice brisk post haircut run - my head was a wee bit cold though!
#Buzzing for tonight's night o at Balmedie, might have to take a detour to "accidentally" run all over Trump's golf course! I'll just say I got lost :P

"Let's go to the beach, each! Let's go get away!"
DNC at balmedie - did the long course (5.1k) which was pretty good fun falling down sand dunes and getting sand everywhere! Luckily I don't hate sand because it's coarse, it's rough, it's irritating and it gets everywhere :P The orienteering itself was alright but a wee bit scrappy overshooting a few controls here and there. Decided not to give Trump's golf course a visit as he just isn't worth the effort!
Almost forgot that I saw the one the only John Mason sporting a fantastic Christmas jumper who was up to his usual tricks cracking out jokes about how Santa does not like going down chimneys because he's CLAUStrophobic :P lol

C • Coarse, rough, and irritating 1

It's good to be back home and able to run in the woods :) beats meadows miles any day :P Went through Foggieton up into Countesswells and round Kingshill. Was fine underfoot for trainers for most of it but did get stuck in a few muddy patches and almost decked it a couple of times! That all just adds to the excitement though :D Absolutely loved it today for some unknown reason :P
