Hanging and collecting controls for junior training

Aboyne to Dinnet and back along Deeside Way then couple of short loops in woods by Aboyne Castle to take up the time of Ewan's tennis lesson.
Legs feeling OK, left hip etc no problems, maybe exercises are working.

Rest day

Loch of Auchlossan road loop, intervals 11x2+1. Started OK and then pushed harder towards end - particularly on uphill section. Very warm and sweaty.

Aboyne Victory Hall to Fungle, to Guard and back down cistern track, pushed on uphill at a decent steady effort.

Through village and back from cistern track easier.

Glen Tanar with Deeside Runners, 2 Bridges loop, lots of sore bits (pilates....) but once running felt good and happy with reasonably brisk pace. All day on computer drawing map had me feeling pretty groggy and washed out by 5pm, but a hunt for our broody hen helped clear my head (found her after 40mins... in the first place they laid eggs when we got them back in March!).

Wee run at Hill of Banchory, nice morning.

Lots of arm work - promised sore arms over next 2 days.

School athletic club - decent warm-up and lap of woods, various bits of faffing with long jump etc. Managed to tweak a thigh muscle in warm-up....... getting old!
