Over that way so 2 hrs 30 walking up and about Bennachie with T. Legs somewhat shot from yesterday.

Home from work along the DW. As much a mental test as a physical one. Didn't feel great for first few km but it got better and then I was committed anyhow. Was going to add on a loop in Crathes, but ended up running into Banchory, then through to the Glassel Road, up there to the Glen O'Dee wood gate, then through the wood to the Tip Rd, Raemoir Garden Centre and home. Glad I don't need to do this too often.

Felt reasonably ok but found it hard to slow myself down at times early on. Carried a Camelbak but not enough water in it..just didn't fancy carrying any more though.

Lunchtime turnover down towards Garthdee and back up.

Even more there tonight...

Went out, came back. No energy. Rest better.

Note to self. Have to recognise not so young anymore, need more recovery time from the really meaningful sessions.

36 (or thereabouts) x 100m strides along Airyhall Rd and Rockhall Rd(back of Shell Woodbank).
Tired before and after.

T working, and another great Deeside day, seemed a waste to spend 4 hours in the car to the SOL and back and run with a lot of miles in the legs so no contest. Not very O motivated just now either.

Bridge of Feugh, Bogendreip, Glen Dye, AA box, Finzean, Corsedardar. Stopped for a pie and a pint at Ballogie, well, a gel and a slurp, then Mill of Cattie, back over Shooting Greens, retracing route back via the AA box etc. Great weather, great Deeside scenery.

Not exactly burning up the tarmac, just an enjoyable ride.
