Trail / Terrain Run 1:53:46 [3] 11.7 km (9:43 / km) +605m 7:44 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Lovely weather so it had to be The Big Map Challenge (part 1)
Straight line from Glen Tanar, through Birsemore and Balfour to home. Direct West to East, almost entirely off tracks, roads and paths.
As expected the first bit was the toughest. Glen Tanar's heather with quite a bit of snow on the higher open bits didn't make life easy, but once through that the rest was all pretty good (bar one thick bit in Balfour). Just the deer for company as didnt see a soul the whole way.
Cheated a wee bit in that I didn't carry the Big Map with me.

Trail / Terrain Run 46:00 [3] 6.8 km (6:46 / km) +150m 6:06 / km
Love it when the bracken dies off. Smattering of snow and iced up mud so what is there not to like. Wanderings mainly off tracks in Potties. Feeling good.

Shooting Greens, AA box loop anticlockwise, Finzean, Birse Church out and back, Finzean Farm Shop, over Corsedardar and home. Just beat the rain, pretty much.

Trail 30:00 [3]
shoes: Roclite 295
Academy Running Club with BP & IW
Nice to see 18 out on a really mingin day. Wet, wet, wet...and cold. Out the Tarland way and back again with a mix of sprints to maintain the interest and warmth. Glad I wasn't wearing shorts and a tee shirt!
Pleased to feel that I was running much better than over the last week. Maybe the effects of the cough are finally wearing off.
