Long run from home with the (mostly) good company of E on his bike. To Aboyne on the DW (road round Mr Grumpy), over the bridge and road to Balfour House, track to Ballogie / Pottie junction, road to track through Potties Wood, then DW to Kinker. Sent E home at this point while I did a few km extra up Pitmurchie rd to the big hoose, then back across the fields and woods.
Steady pace with lots of small stops. Feeling ok to ~ Potties, then sore and uncomfortable. Not too surprising after racing yesterday.
25.2km - still a bit short, but getting there gradually.

Good long w-u before the race and short cool down after.

ElBrimick dash. Super happy with this. Set off steady and gradually wound people in. Happy to pass AH before top of first climb, then AM and JM on second climb. Legs seemed to be able to find that extra something when required. A long way off old times (26:18, 2007) but couldn't expect to finish any further up the pack.
A good start to 2014 and no niggles.
First hill race for E too.

Head torch run with Helen P. From the house down to the river, W along the bank to Drumnagask, road from WHW to White Cottage and then back by the DW. Lovely evening and undoubtedly a swifter pace than I'd have done on my own.
Good to be home finally.

Welcomed in the New Year with J with a very pleasant run along the beach and back through the forest at Tentsmuir. Neither of us feeling bouncy but going ok on flat easy paths.
Healthy living starts now.

Needed this - it's been missing from nomadic life of the last few days.

Wee run post travelling, across the golf course and back by the coastal path from B+B in St Andrews

Walk with the Hardy clan from Cross Stones down to the canal between HB and Tod and back up through the woods. Bit of a wild day, but rain stayed off for much if it. Out for a couple of hours.
