feeling more recovered now

C • Ditto 4

10 * approx. 75 secs uphill at Harviestoun on quiet section of track.

wu, wd
fine on warm up, v tired on warm down. wearing too many clothes (2 pairs of tights + 5 layers on top half) after being cold yesterday, so was a bit of a Michelin man.
both hamstrings still tired

with Storm in the snow.

on my own in the snow.
legs not too bad; hamstrings quite stiff and tight, but rest of muscles seem OK. Very hard to tell just how tired I am though in the snow. Definitely feeling less tired than this time last week. Need to not do 2 hours walking tomorrow as well as my run...

another planned rest day - into Glasgow with Rachel for Grade 1 violin exam.

Strathdevon - Blairlogie and back. too hot in a helly and light jacket.
still feeling a bit tired to start with but not too bad, certainly better than last Saturday, but really really struggling by the end. 42k is seeming an awfully long way at the moment.
So 1 week of rest but still with a fair amount of dog / DofE walking isn't enough to recover from 2 very hard weeks.

another planned rest day - lots going on.
Rachel's party at Clip n Climb, so did some climbing, but not too strenuous. might have sore arms / fingers tomorrow but shouldn't have affected my legs.

On a different note, nice to see one of my former pupils scoring a try for Scotland today.

planned rest day. Unfortunately it also included 11k of walking in the Pentlands with a relatively heavy rucksack (Silver training half-day, approx. 3 1/2 hours walking). Not too tiring, but not as resting as sitting on your bottom all day.
