Training Log Archive: Big Jon

Run (walk) up Meall a Buchaill with SP. More than I had planned but legs felt reasonable.

Feet sore - left from stones and right big toe - the usual old-broken toe problems.

Not feeling up to anything today, nice chill day at home.

Deeside Runners Tarland night race. Feeling pretty washed out after last few days but decided to start. Gradually got into the swing of it till the steep climb at top of hill, then struggled on descent - not fast enough on downhill forest road sections. Ended up nearly 8 minutes down on winner. Not very good.

Going slow warm-up to try to get legs moving.

Wander part away up Beinn a'Bhuird with S and E. Late starting so dark by finish. Out about 5 hours.

Shifting some wood for next winters supply. couple of hours.

to start from finish.

DNC Braes (Logie Coldstone). Pleasant little area and mostly flat so quite quick. Missed 3 or 4 controls a wee bit - lost maybe 2-30 to 3 minutes. 9 minutes down on the big boys (Duncan, Sashsa, Josh... stacked field!), maybe first local punter :-)

Mortlich with S, E and RH. Pleasant morning, nice sunrise as we climbed.

Wander in the wood to burn off some calories.

rest day - feeling a bit weary. Went for a walk up Creag Lich with S and E, met AT & ET. Lovely sunny day, clear skies and still air. Glorious.
