With S and JS, Dinnet bridge to Glen Tanar north ridge, west and back via Dee Castle.

Dess Woods and abbreviated northern loop - had to get back for JROS Zoom part 2... Pleasant out and legs feeling OK. Uphills not great

rest day

Loch Kinord 10km route with Deeside Runners. Nice pleasant social run but struggling for last 10 mins or so - not sure whether pace increased or I got tired!
Nice evening, mild, dry and pleasant company.

DNC Crathes. Nice short course (4.6) and all in the nice west end - and even better a large scale map! so I could read it easily (when I looked). Hd a few wobbles and then almost blew it at last control (thought I was south of hill and north of it instead... Just corrected without too much time loss...
Felt quite good in terrain - as long as not too steep uphill!

Out track to NE of car park.

Taking Tuesday as a rest day has meant I'm feeling much fresher on Wednesday and thus have enjoyed the DNC much more than sometimes. But I'll wait till we have a really tough forest before claiming conclusively that this hypothesis is correct :-)

rest day

Lots of glute work again.

Aboyne Academy run club. Out towards gliding strip on Deeside Way wit ha few intervals chucked in. Very pleasant evening with mist arising along the river.
