To the Kincraig shop and back with Lucy pedalling beside.

Very-shortly-post-lunch run from the cottage to the rothimurcus estate shop to buy some lemon curd. Fran was cycling alongside. The early miles were pretty nifty as she was going well on the inshriach tracks. She slowed up when it narrowed towards Loch an Eilian. Phew. Lunch was trying desperately to make a re-appearance. I shouldn't have had that second (straight from the oven, with cream AND jam) scone.
Ray had easimated the route to be 8 miles, so those extra 2.2 miles felt far. Foot suitably f'ed now.
Ps pretty maps of my runs on strava. No segments though. Ray wants to make some, just so he can beat me.

Showing Fran how I can train straight after dinner, in the dark. Up glen feshie and to Uath Lochans. I was going to do the white forest trail. It was shut for forestry work. F that, I thought and ran on, only to see that by forestry work they meant taking up the duckboards. Nah. Ran back and down the road a bit, running hard to try to make 8min miles.

Cycle home. I didn't strava it. What a waste. Mega late setting off from work for school's ludicrous 12:15 Friday pick up. It's always a race on the best of days. Visions of crying kids in the playground. I absolutely gunned it the whole way.

I think I am getting exhausted. Ill today still.

Off-road running1:01:00 [3] 5.2 mi (11:44 / mi)
Run to Eilidhs for trotettes. I drove to Swanston and ran from there over some hills, through a lot of tussocks. Nice. Tough. First full power head torch run.
