Hanging controls and a bit of shadowing.

Mountain bike but mostly on roads - Deeside Way to west, up to Cross Roads, Tarland, Dinnet then Deesdie Way to Aboyne and back to Kinker on road, warm-down up the Deeside Way to home. Not sure how I would feel but really quite enjoyed it (after the first hill out of the Lumphanan bowl).
Only carved up twice - both between Aboyne and Kinker, couldn't quite catch the second car..... shame!

Steady run with S (E at tennis), Victory Hall to Aboyne castle grounds to golf course, round Aboyne Loch and back via old railway line.

30 mins surveying - checking area for late amendments.

Had planned a bike ride, but feeling generally mehhhh so decided to have day off instead.

Easy run round Church Wood Grantown. Achilles still a bit awkward but not painful.

5.5 hours surveying, drizzle for last hour - got pretty wet from bracken :-(

4.5 hours surveying, nice day but a bit midgy at lunchtime. saw another (or maybe the same) huge red deer stag plus a large hind near by. Both about 80m from a main road.

Glen Tanar Deeside Runners, 2 bridges loop, planned 6x2+1 but right achilles flared up half way through 6th effort, so cruised bakc from there and then stood in river for 5 minutes, the achilles eased a bit by the end of the return run and cold water has helped further. Need to restart icing.

A wet trot round Hill of Banchory - can't remember the last time I was rained on during a Monday morning run!

Good session

After-schol running club, a decent warm-up, some sprints and then a loop through the woods.
