Absolutely exhausted when I woke up this morning and didn't think I'd be capable of much, but decided the best cure was to get out and try to do something. With E from Dinnet over the top track to Glen Tanar, up the glen past half way hut, then right by the landrover track back over to Deeside and return on S Dee road. Really lovely day and felt surprisingly ok on the bike. Out for 2:20.

Aboyne games hill race. Not feeling in anything like race shape, but decided it would be good for me to do this, and couldn't really think of a good excuse not to. Didn't intend to take it too seriously but soon found myself playing cat and mouse with Marie, so it turned into a full on effort. I actually don't think I'm capable of running a race without getting competitive. Had got a few m ahead of M on the descent of the Fungle but she wound me back in through the village and we came to a pact to finish together - quite sure she could have beaten me from there if she'd wanted to. 4th= ladies so pretty happy with that. Touch slower than my 2006 pb (53:40). Wet.

With E on his bike from Cambus bridge, S side of the river through Inchmarnoch to Ballater and then back by the DW. Felt good for the first 30' or so, but tired in the second half.

Lap of the woods with J. Wet, but a much needed leg stretch.

H'head. OK time for a full loop. Some frustrations to run off.

Left heaps of time to get to Zeebrugge. Planned to run once we got near but it was peeing down. Frustrating.
