Peter Palmer Relay and travel home, too tired to go out when home - and tea ready!

Jog round camp at Stafford to get travel out of my system. Calf still a bit tight feeling and sore.

With Sarah from Birse up through Birse Wood, to Carn Ferg, long way off and back down Fungle. Feeling left calf a bit, but never too sore, just a bit tight and slightly aching.

Surveying Inchmarnoch 6 hours. feeling a bit tired by end.

Gym session, lunges, single leg straightening, sit-ups.

Surveying Inchmarnoch 4 hours. Another sunny mild day and a superb bit of forest. The middle distance race is going to be a top race next year.

Glen Tanar with Deeside Runners. 6x2+1, going well till near end of 6th, then left lower calf cramped up and I jogged slowly back. Iced it and gentle stretching showed a bit of pain but nothing too bad. Hopefully a couple of days off running and I'll be OK.

warm up and jog back

Cautious about calf, but nothing seemed to affect it at all. Even did a few calf stretches - with dipped knee I could feel the area but nothing too bad.

Forgot to add

surveying Inchmarnoch 5 hours - lovely day, warm and sunny for much of it.

Ver yshort run round Hill of Banchory - but felt GOOD - best I've felt on a morning run for ages.

Good session

Gym work, lunges, knee machine (single legs), sit-ups and a bit on the static bike to recover between sets.
