Lap of the woods. Legs felt good at times but struggling up the hills.

South Deeside road over to Glen Tanar and back via Pannanich ridge. with S and 5 others. equally showers - getting gradually colder. Felt pretty stuffed from start and glad to turn back at foot of Mt Keen with SR & ME. Still going OK at end so not totally knackered by the run.

C • Showers came at regular int... 1

Checking tapes for DNC on MoD. Glorious forest, shame the forest munchers have bashed it about in parts. Managed to find most tapes - getting awful dark by the end!
Feeling pretty tired.

Surveying Levenmouth Ac. Blowing a hooly - almost blown over a couple of times... Out for about 3 hours total.
Feeling completely wiped out by time got home - over 4 hours driving plus wind plus hard couple of days... too much.

standing set - definitely more wobbly than last week - need to keep it more regular.

DNC Potarch. Lots of track running but stuck at it and happy to be 2nd behind MG (though 8 mins down...). Only 1 error - got dragged right on the trickiest leg near end, faffed a little then relocated and lost about 1 minute. Managed to drop AB by scaling a fence - he came back looking for the "gate" I had used :-)

Decent warm-up and even a couple of mins jog after - to get to download!
Feeling pretty heavy legged after intervals.

Mapping a school grounds (bloody freezing) and indoor (nice and warm).
Total 3 hours but lots of standing around.

Good 'ol 5x4+2 round Aboyne roads with deeside Runners. Had tp explain route 'cos all the old dudes are gone!
Left thigh got a strange tight 2" long hot spot after about 1 min on first interval but eased back a fraction and was OK. Massage after found a definite sore bit - will monitor over next few days.
Overall session was OK, nearly at back of group but at least I got it done, onwards and upwards.

After-school running club. - Fungle, man-hunt in field at bottom then lap of Loch and back. Feeling pretty decent and no pains.
