With J from Keiloch cp round Craig Leek on tracks in an a/c direction. Feeling awful when we set off. Knew it had to improve and it did, although still not very bright on the hill. Fortunately there were lots of nice flowers, butterflies etc. that needed closer inspection. From the main Cullardoch track came back round the high track to the spur off the south side past a lovely wee old wooden summer house I've never seen before.
Great route and such a lovely spot, as always.

A blast round my own course at Torphins. Still had 1 hesitation when I thought I'd overshot a junction. Woosed the nettly fields too.
Quality session.

Late night boogying to the band in Kinker. Hoped this might make up for lack of stretching, but if it did other factors overrode its effect.

From Dinnet a/c round LK, visitor centre, path up the hill, right on top track over shoulder, back to Muir and continue a/c round LK taking in the DF bog loop. A few stops for photos (water lillies looking lovely) and chanterelles. Not feeling great, but good to get back to my Friday long run.

Wander round T'phins checking control sites.

Recovery run round short H'head loop. Tired from intervals but knees still holding up ;-)

7 x 2' + 1' round the 2 bridges. Yay - first interval session in a looong time. Body holding up well. Knee pain has vanished. Just lacking aerobic fitness and any speed.

To start of intervals and back from end

Even this feels to be improving - quads not as tight as they have been.
