Dess Wood standard loop, feeling really tired and just going slower and slower, so put in some faster short bursts - did perk me up a bit, but only a little!
Culbin "Deep Black" 18.4km. 1-57-21 16th Ist GG 1-37-33. Shame I wasn't inside +1min/km, but can't complain - I lost about 1-1.5 minutes in total, just cruising round and didn't fall apart so thats a bonus. Very nice to run in Culbin, surprising how little I remembered in any detail - I couldn't have run any leg on map-making memory!
steady run warm up/down 5:00 [3]
Basically no warm-up, just a short run to the start and off.
Lovely run - Dinnet round Loch Kinord. Warm and sunny - felt like summer never mid spring. Dinnet curling pond was full of thousands of frogs and toads all frantically chasing and mating - ahh the joys of spring!
Note
3 hours heaving rocks around in tree root area of garden. Arms quivering by end - hope they aren't needed at Culbin!
Check survey at Kinnoull Hill for 6-Days - satisfying as vast majority of comments are new paths or vegetation changes etc. 5.5 hours, pooped by end esp after long drive home on the tractor filled roads. Lovely spring day - ponds alive with croaking frantic breeding frogs, newts flitting about and toads lumbering around in the grass looking for mates.
stretching15:00 [2]
feeling good - certainly a lot better than immediately after getting home from survey.
5x4+4 along paths and riverbank from ILPH. 1st interval not great (in fact horrible) - not at best running at 9am and it was uphill for first 3 minutes... Session improved after this and going well by end. Fantastic day - cold air but warm sun - real spring day.
steady run35:00 [3]
long warm up (16 minutes) and from end of intervals home, still feeling OK on hill from Dess burn, surprised after the work out on Sunday - must be recovering better than expected.
run to and from Pilates - carrying swissball (good for practising running upright!). Raining on way to session - first time on a Monday morning since I started running to pilates.

pilates class, pretty good session, despite feeling tired from long run.
