Still choked up, rest till it’s gone.

Woke during the night with a sore throat - got E’s cold.
On positive side - went to Runrig farewell concert at Stirling - fantastic!

Deeside Railway intervals towards Aboyne. 4x4+2. Started a bit tentative but got going well, pleased with session. Very sweaty.

First time for 2 sets of intervals in a week for a looooooooong time :-)

Deeside way east, trees to main road, riverbank west to Warren cottage and back via Lumphanan road and Deeside way west.
A bit stiff at start but eased into it and going fairly briskly by end.

2 hours surveying.

Surveying 7 hours, tired

Deeside Runner at Glen Tanar, went along planning to do 2 bridges loop but everyone went east from chapel so I went with them, then decided to try the hills. Session was great - best I've felt at intervals probably since appendicitis (Dec 2016). Not sure why - maybe holiday has finally got me fit enough to survive intervals/hills. Very pleased with session, started to struggle on last 3-4. Almost bonked on return run, glad E and S had some sweets and chocolate in the car :-)

C • I'd say welcome back... 3

Feeling OK and no right leg issues at all - only remembered to think about it half way through session! Progress.

With S and E round Dess Woods, legs a bit weary but not right hip/glute problems.
