Morven night run. Set off early with Ben's group as E was doing it for the first time and I didn't want him to feel pressured. As it turned out he set the pace the whole way up, having to stop and wait for the rest of us to re-group. Felt like hard work to me. Nice night and the wind wasn't as bad as I feared at the bottom. Too many up there to count or even recognise half of them. Suspect E is the youngest ever Morven winter solstice runner though?

Lap of the woods

DNC Crathes. Enjoyed this tonight. A bit scrappy in the circle once or twice and tried to head to no 11 instead of 2, but mostly pretty happy with how it went. Running felt good - a lunchtime trot round the woods seems to work for me.

Decent w-u to start of intervals. Short jog back at end.

5x4'+2' on railway at Dinnet. 2 out and 3 back. A real slog again, feeling sluggish the whole session and distances not great. Endorphins kicked in after though.

Meeting the parentals in Embra

Maroc Sondagsbana on Pannanich and Inchmarnoch. Hanging back early on to make sure we didn't lose anyone, but still a bit of a slog up through Pann. Climb rewarded by a gorgeous run down the Inchamrnoch ridge. Did the extra wee loop to the east with E, then a pleasant run back along the slopes to start point. Managed to avoid added excitement at the fence crossings, unlike several others. Really nice to be able to share a run like this with E, just need to get J going again now :-)

Lethargic plod around the woods. Didn't feel up for anything more energetic.

First decent night's sleep all week and feeling a bit more alive again. Lovely run with RC from his house through Potarch woods, up the DW for a bit, then angled up through the plantation onto Tom's Cairn. Bit of a grey day, but some atmospheric clouds and light up on top. Great run and good chat.
