Training Log Archive: Big Jon

Walked round Orange course introducing newcomer to O.
Out for about 60 mins on course plus another 30 mins to start and back twice (manning start for last shift).
Feeling a lot perkier than yesterday - maybe try a wee jog tomorrow.

Quiet day at home - slowly improving.

Ho Hum. Back to illness - got E's stomach bug (he was ill on Monday night). Up all night... feeling totally washed out.
I just want January to pass and let me get well again.

Surveying 70 mins. Lovely cold sunny day.

Deeside Way towards Kinker, down big pine avenue to steading, across road, down to fishing hut and along riverbank to mill, back up to main road and along Dess road to Deeside Way, across Dess Burn, up past waterfall to main track and back up to turning circle and home. A few surges near end on uphills and flats - not great but something there so not just plodding along.
Things are improving :-)

With S, a wee trot round Dess Woods. Hillier than previous runs and legs feeling it a bit by end.

With BP through Aboyne Castle woods toward Aboyne golf course and back. Always was going to be a bit longer than the planned 25 mins. Walked last bit back to his house. Felt OK running, pace got a bit hot at times but mostly he was gentle with me!

2 hours wandering and chatting at Detox, lots of chatting.

Dropped off on way home and ran back on road to DAP, then up through woods. Managed to run all the hill. Feeling sprightlier then past 2 days running.

Paid for it later - suddenly feeling cold and tired at tea time, slept in chair then to bed at 7pm for an hour... Maybe overdid it a bit.
