Lovely Christmas morning trot up Mortlich with E and SR. 13C even at 08:30 and the sun rising over Clachnaben. Met ME on the way back down.

W-u jog hanging controls for the Dess star peak challenge - lap round the bottom of the woods.

Dess star peak challenge. Did 6 of the 8 reps up to Santa's grottie at the top of the hill. More than I planned but felt ok once I got going. Bit of a sore throat yesterday but it doesn't seem to have come to anything... yet. Good fun.

Walk round Bellwood with J. Enough for today.

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?

C • Who was there? 2

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.
