RTH Guiding round the Balmoral 15 miler.
Was expecting to be needed for the 10 miler so a bit of a shock to be doing this but it turned out well. Nice group of, largely, old friends and acquaintances, on what turned out to be a lovely mainly blue sky day. Fresh snow on Lochnagar and Ben Avon helped impress the customers. Smashing day for the 15 all in all, although didn't want to dwell for long especially out on the moor. Nice sociable pace with plenty of chat and photo stops. Its a while since I've run this far so pretty pleased with it. Good day with no new aches or pains.
With JM and Ruth.M.
Not every day you guide the mother of a Grand National winning jockey. You get all sorts in this guiding lark. Lots of great people.

RTH Guiding
Usual March weekend Friday loop. Very sedate pace with 8 folk (after 1 very early dropoff - thanks BigJon), but nice conditions. Usual high levels of enthusiasm for Deeside scenery.

With SW
Main Craigmore loop with 20 minutes in Sluie tacked on. Wet and dreary so good to have company. Feeling very slow and laboured on the up hills.

Happy enough after getting a few more runs in this week..but generally they have been rather ploddy. Will see how guiding goes this weekend but cough still there but would hope to step things up a bit next week. Breathing too heavily on the hills mind.

Wet Craigmore. 2 x up.
No aches or pains, just slow.

Academy Run Club x13 (ski trip on so fewer than normal).
River run mixing it with a few sprints.
With SR.

Out along the Water of Dye from Bridge of Bogendreip then back on the other side after crossing over at the high ricketty bridge. Bit of a bog in places on the outward but lovely day and loop has lots of potential for extending. Not very spritely but fun in the sun.
