Hanging a few controls for junior training at Tilquhillie. Map badly needs redoing.

Home from Tilquhillie via Feughside and Burn of Cattie. Legs felt sore initially (ITB?) but eased off into the ride. Only just enough gears on my road bike for the Corsedarder hill but great flying down the other side.

SOA meeting
Decided to give my feet a rest. Not as sore as yesterday, but tendons on outer ankle of R foot feel tight. Ice and massage.

First long run for a couple of months. From Birse. Up big forestry track to top of forest. Down to Glen Cat then up Forest of Birse track. L at the top round Lamahip then across to Craiglash. Wasted some time here trying and failing to find a path up the slopes to the W. From Craglash onto forest tracks and down to Glen Cat then round E edge of forest by Bogieshiel and drop to Balfour House track. A bit early for me and feeling sluggish to start with, then struggling later on with the distance.

Soles of feet have been feeling a bit tender. 2 hours after the run R foot is quite sore under the arch. Time for some new shoes I think.

From Aboyne Loch. Through the woods to the steading, up the (badly overgrown) path by the plantation, L towards the bottom of the Mortlich climb (getting badly overgrown too), back down to the big bog, through the woods on the wee path then anti-clockwise round the loch. Still tired from Tuesday's run but a pleasant plod.

Remarkably fine run in the rain round Hazlehead. Hope it helps ease out the aches and pains from last night's session.

C • One day.. 4

DR at Glen Tanar. Did the big loop with pyramid intervals. Felt tired on the way back from the top of the hill and felt tight around the hamstring insert / bum. need a good stretch tonight.

1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1' reps with 1' recovery (2' after 4). Well off the back of the lads on the long reps, but at least they came back to find me now and again. Good to get a proper session out of the way.

Hamstrings very tight

First pilates class since the start of the summer. Gentle start but can feel that my core's been working.

Didn't manage to get out for a run again. Just too much going on at the mo. Hope we can start to get back into some sort of routine now.
