Streets of Rhynie from the gala field.

Always missed this one in the past so a new one for me. Never even been up the hill before.
Tight right calf for last couple of days but seems more like a bite/sting from when we are at Feardar. Anyway decided to take it easy for that reason. In practice that probably went out the window after 200m. Thought RuthM would be a good pace guide but she was about 50m behind me all the way up. Pretty muddy across the flat saddle with no decent places to run. Probably about 12th to the top, and caught two soon after started on the descent. Aberdeen AAC girl in front all the way down but couldn't catch her. Ended up 9th or 10th anyway and almost certainly1st v60 out of not very many...might even have been the only one. Nice course, fun race.

Rough old day.
Out the path, round via the Ballogie House drive; track through the fields past Bogieshiel Lodge drive end and back down the road. Didnt fancy wet vegetation today.

Post dismantling of three stiles with AT. Feardar at its finest in the sunshine. Land Rover track then largely elephant tracks via a couple of control sites. Difficult to believe 3000 running here two weeks ago. Glorious.

Lamahip with S and M (& Bruno) instead of the DR session. Lovely evening for a Ballogie Runners run but its starting to unduly hurt running with these relative youngsters up hills. Downhills is much better but by that time I'm somewhat wasted. Good chat though....including the berating of our lovely local broadband provider (...or not really provider today).

London traipsing

Tour of London Bridges.
Beautiful morning for criss crossing the Thames.
Webber Street down Lambeth Road then:
Lambeth; Westminster; Golden Jubilee; Waterloo; Blackfriars; Millennium; Southwark; London and Tower bridges. Then back over London bridge and along to Blackfriars, then back via Blackfriars Road.
Nice out.
