Out with EC from Kinker to Lumphanan, Traland, cafe stop for drink and a cake :-), Aboyne, south Deeside to Potties and back. Very enjoyable day - lots of sunshine and the strong wind never seemed to be badly in our faces :-)

With KC & SC from Cambus bridge car park, up tracks and then terrain to top of Cnoc Dubh, down to col and then along in forest to north of power line. Running short of time so straight back guru C and along railway line.
Mostly pleasant running underfoot - will do this again, could extend it further west to Tullich or back through Cambus to east end.
Good to catch up and just about hung on to the (easy) pace.

standing set. Legs feeling a bit tired from todays run.

rest day

both sets

A bit of a surprise - E wanted to do the Banchory fun-run and S was running elsewhere, so went long and entered myself as well. Started really slowly and eased into it, actually felt OK up Corsee Road (a first ever) then started to push a little on long gradual descent. Held good till the Platties then suddenly it wasn't good and I felt sick and completely out of breath, lost 8 places in last 400m. Still it was a good cobweb blower.

Decent warm-up along last section of course a couple of times.

Mortlich with E, S and a few Deeside runners. Lovely bright sunny morning. Plodded up and down.

standing set

Up Bennachie, managed to run almost all the way - albeit very slowly at times. Breathing a bit wheezy at start but seemed to ease off.

Deeside Way then Pitmurchie road and back through fields.
Breathing struggling - lots of wheezing. Need to take it easy for a bit building up slowly.
