Training Log Archive: SarahD

Celebrated the new year Norwegian style by "gå på tur" with a wander through the woods between the road and river W of the Girnock, followed by "bål og pølser". Lucked out by finding an open fishing hut to use as a base in-between the showers, although it turned out not too bad at all. Fun :-)

Buddied J with a short leg loosener from the house. Left foot has been niggling on inside near heel. Tweaked it slightly yesterday, but seemed fine at the time.

Shortened session

Part of Sondagsbana corridor training on Glen Davan and S end of Redburn. Kept it short as I'm in need of some recovery.

Collecting tapes from Dinnet Muir from (shh!) TG w/e - oops! Maybe shouldn't use the stuff with "Scottish Orienteering" plastered all over it next time.
Tired after a few good days of training.

2 in a row :-)

Feeling pretty bleurgh all day, but with J's encouragement got dropped with a headtorch in Aboyne late afternoon. Headed out through the Castle grounds to the TW and Coull by which time I was already feeling better. Out to the gate below Mortlich. Then after some indecision found myself climbing to the high path, and before I knew it found myself continuing on to the top. Back down to the fence and the path to Boddomend track, DW and home. Yet another fab sunset and really pleasant headtorch run.

Walk am along the river to Drumnagask with J, E, P and M.

Why wait until New Year

Long w-u down the DW to the bottom of the steep hill past Kinker, then some reps, jog descent in Sluie to the wee back road, a couple more reps, then back from Kinker Castle. Followed some of the tracks along the back of Kinker I've never used before, coming out across a field to the top of the village on P'murchie Rd. Grovelled back up the DW.

3x3' on the DW along to Potties, finishing up the track into Sluie. Then 5 x 1' up the hill. 1 x 3' along the track, then another 2x3' from the back road along through Kinker estate. Last 3 all slightly uphill. All with 1' recovery. Not feeling fresh but hungry for a good tough session.

Afternoon wander up the BoV with J E P & M.

One-way run with E. Got dropped by J at Tullich church then ran back over to Cambus quarries, old drove road to N end of the muir and back round Loch Kinord to Dinnet. Gorgeous day and a lovely run with my wee boy. Can't believe I can enjoy runs like this with him already. Just a bit worried about how soon before he refuses to go with me because I'm too slow :-(
Scratchy throat seems to have disappeared without developing into anything :-)

Fun run fail. Throat still a bit scratchy and E full of cold / not interested. Went for a family walk in the snow up Craigendarroch instead, which was v pleasant.
