From home to Mortlich along railway and direct ascent. Felt ok once I got going and just managed to run all of the hill with a bit of grit and determination. Came back the same way initially but diverted to the top of Low Hill. Then headed cross country through fields to pick up the track behind the railway cottages.
Another magic summer's day. Lots of people out and about and lizards sunbathing on the top of the hill.

Another 3 x 7' barrows of manure

With J and E on tag-along. From Tower of Ess, up the left side of the glen, over the two bridges and on to Half-way Hut, then back down the other side. Lots of amorous toads in the Faerlie Loch and all over the track. Hope we didn't squash too many.
Another lovely spring day.

From Cambus Bridge. Up onto Cnoc Dubh (22'), down through Cambus, out towards Tullich, across Tullich Burn to mast track and Ballater (80'). Had planned to cross the river and head back along the S side, but was slower than anticpated so headed back along Deeside Way instead. Diverted to the Needle and then the river bank.
Lovely spring day and a really enjoyable run.

From the gliding strip along the Deeside Way with J and E on his bike.

Picked up the rest of the markers from training.

3 x ~8' barrow loads of manure....

Hazlehead. Lovely sunny day and a much needed break from the computer. Did a few short reps to get the legs moving faster.

10 x 30" + 30" sprints.

Picked up some of the markers after training at Dess. Good turnout and a fine evening.

Feeling washed out. Nothing feels especially sore, just lacking in energy. Long drive home yesterday.

JK relays at Braunton Burrows. Ran W Premier with Kirsty and Denise. Messed up no 1 and made another 2 min mistake later. Otherwise really enjoyed it, especially as I could read the contour detail. Didn't have any real motivation to race on tired legs.
Best part of the day was cheering for our winning Mini Relay team.
