Corporate Decathlon coaching at Crathes. Limited running

With K. Scolty car park up and over the top, down usual way and left at junction with main track and then back on paths and tracks. Two sore ankles...need to fix.

Substantial interlude by the summit tower whilst K proceeded to have a major nose bleed. Mopped up with a mix of heather and grass and finally able to continue with K looking like the the victim of a terrorist attack or major accident. Rolled her in the next available puddle somewhat lower down to make things more presentable and ensure I didn't get locked up for some serious form of child abuse.

Still not venturing out to run with the cough and cold so stuck to the tedious stuff. Mainly skate skiing which was appropriate since Gunnar R from Oslo turned up...someone else to bike with at lunchtimes..or golf course ski with in February maybe.

Car in garage, inactivity no good, bike to work.
Stuck to quiet early morning roads for the 4.5k to Crathes and then "took the train". Felt competitive so gave it some welly.

Cough seems almost away, cold persisting.

Return railway journey all the way from the foot of Springfield Rd to Banchory Morrisons. Bit slower on the uphill journey, partly as almost entirely off-road. Got a bit mucky by way of the puddles at the Banchory end. Explored the "short cut" at Drumoak.

Some lunchtime O coaching in advance of corporate decathlon.

No good at being patient or idle so did some gentle stuff. Still a cold and cough.

Going to get rid of this cold etc...
