Headtorch run round the woods and fields with J. Legs not too bad.
Snowy walk round Dinnet Muir with J and E earlier in the day.

Down to Kinker, Pitmurchie road, Torphins, S Footie road over the top to Kinker and back along the road. Roads were white the whole way and a bit slippy but ok running. Climb back over to Kinker was tough as wasn't getting enough traction to push up. Felt much better than yesterday but very tired by end. Started out cold but nice, but snow came over on the way back.

Should have been out for a long run with J today but school shut for 4th Friday in a row. As it was didn't get far as I realised I was flogging a dead horse. Better off getting some R & R. Plenty of time in the holidays to get out to play.

Not chuffed to be DQd on Wed as certain that controls were wrong. Interesting to note that several people ended up too far N of 14 coming from 13, whereas it was dead on line from where 13 should have been.

Relaxed run round Aboyne while E at Beavers. Skitey underfoot.

DNC at Forvie. Now this was more like night O should be. Cracking area for it and great technical course. Just a shame that not all controls were where they should have been. Had a great technical run up to no 11 where I lost ~1'. 10 wasn't right but was easy to see. Lost focus a bit going across to 12. Thought I was a bit low but as I climbed to where the control should be I spotted a glint ahead. Ran towards it until it jumped up and hopped away. Met J when I doubled back and after relocating to the same spot carried on to 13 except it wasn't there either. Had lost my zone by then but found the rest of the controls ok. Felt good running ( extra afternoon coffee?) but calfs cramped a bit towards the end.

Decent warm up for once while waiting for the planner.

Not very motivated for this but managed 7x2'+1' on roads round Hhead. Legs were ok once I got going.

To and from intervals

Last session of the year

A shuffle round the woods with J much too soon after lunch.
