Walking30:00 [2] 7.2 km (4:10 / km) +490m3:07 / km
Up Morrone with J and E in the afternoon. Tested out new running poles, which gave a bit of upper body effort. Out for ~2h.
Feeling like I've been a bit lazy... good sign that I should be ready to get back to some heavier training.

Run up onto the C of M ridge with J during Allt Cailleach training. Really enjoyed this and pleased to feel that I could push up the hill a little. A few cms of snow underfoot. Turned off the path on the way back to follow the spur down through the forest. A bit brashy, but still some nice bits of terrain.

Run round the back to pick up the first 8 controls in the E Glen Muick block of forest. Stop / start as I caught the backmarkers sooner than expected. Feet just about warmed up by the end. A bit dreich, but nice bit of forest.

Full steam ahead with project BB now. Aboyne castle. Forgot my kneepads and took the wrong poles (tips a bit blunt) so didn't get too carried away. Took a bit to get into it, but ok once I had.

Me and Tyrebagger have never been best of buddies and reckoned I didn't have much to gain from DNC tonight, so decided to get a few more ski km in instead. Back to AC again, but with a headtorch this time. Better poles made a surprising difference.
Seems like I've escaped unscathed from the w/e. One toe nail gone and some tightness behind the left knee, but otherwise just tired. Slept like a log despite the excess caffeine needed to get us home.
