Lap of Loch Kinord from Burn O'Vat car park with various extras, up to Vat at end.
Legs not achey but a bit heavy and tired. Guests not wanting anything speedy or any further - result :-)

steady run 5:30:00 [2]
Glen Muick car park, Broad Cairn, Cairn Bannoch, Carn an t'Sagairt Mor, Lochnagar. Guiding group - started steadily and made sure we walked early hills to let slower runners keep up. Rain and wind increased up Broad Cairn, not sure we'd get much further but wind eased over top and fine out to Carn an t'Sagairt Mor - heavy intense shower here (plus flock of 40-50 Ptarmigan) but short lived. Up track from there and missed out on Carn a' Choire Bhoidheach then last drag up to plateau. Back via edge of corrie and tourist track. Cloud cleared completely as we descended... having been coming and going all run with views appearing and disappearing in seconds as we came round the corries!
Good day out, lots of walking but my legs were not feeling fresh at start so happy to go slow.

steady run 2:00:00 [3]
Linn of Quoich/Lui loop, guiding. Cool day but good for running. Only one guest so it was great he turned out to be a similar pa e and also happy on rough ground (lives near Peak District!).
Hope tomorrow is as pleasant but weather looks a bit poorer.
Right leg mostly OK but a few twinges when we hit flat dirt road in Mar Lodge grounds and had to be careful on tarmac for last 1km.

steady run 6:00 [3]
A bit tight for time so a short lap of the nearest tracks.
Pilates 1:00:00 [1]
Felt good at the session, right shoulder best its been for several months and hip/groin also OK.
steady run 38:00 [3]
Some drills (5 mins) and then a lap of Dess Woods, starting down to bridge, waterfall etc. Leg feeling good - hardly noticed it at all on run - big progress from last week.
Maybe the corner has been turned and it will gradually get back to normal from here. Some intervals next and see how they feel and how the leg reacts.
