Walk with mum from Quillan up towards the gorge and the devils viewpoint . The latter was a bit underwhelming but there were some nice trails. Went exploring on the way back and got stuck in some not-so-nice bush.
Left knee sore in one specific spot, but can't work out why. Walking didn't seem to bother it though.

With Jonny out towards Le Serpent and then back to Montazel to meet Aishy. Jonny cheating by having Beau pulling him, while my calfs were hurting from my last run. Also 30 minutes longer than planned. But another glorious cloud free day and it was lovely to be out.

Back to Quillian lakes to explore the rest of route #7. God this was tough and physical, climbs were steep and rough and a lot of the trail was unused. However, Bitrague was a great highlight with great views and lovely trails around it. Will be back to this part of the run.

Explore with mum from the Quillan lakes. found the start of the trail route #7 but it was steep and slow going so bailed to the nearest road. Tough going down the steep bush but we got out okay - after a wee paddle to cross a stream.

With Aishy on trails south of Quillan, most of which I'd been along on my only previous visit here. New loop at the end though which was some of the nicest that I've run around here. Very enjoyable.

ahr:129 max:164 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

Back from Couiza along so e new trails, many not very interesting, although I did find a new a new biking route. Also got electrocuted and had a very early experience when all the giant worms in a field were making a sucking noise as I ran over them. Kind of like that film from the 80's.

ahr:151 max:181 shoes: Asics 2140 (10)

Very wet morning so opted to avoid the trails. About half road and gravel track with a nice climb, ran at a tempo pace for most with effort in the last few km. Not the kind of run that my body is used to.

ahr:136 max:168

First road bike since the summer, so kept it short. New roads to the northeast, very nice they were, but found the 35 minute climb hard work. Enjoyed it, but tired afterwards.

ahr:128 max:165 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

Headed back down towards Montazel as the trails there are less sticky, and after the rain the other night that felt like a good plan. Had a surprising amount of fun exploring some new trails. Trying to rain the whole time but next enough to get wet.

ahr:123 max:154 shoes: Asics 2140 (10)

Around the lake and holiday village with Aishy. May have missed all the floods in Wales but had our own here last night. Water levels now high rather than extreme but lots of damage to the park and flooding down the valley. Slow as social as Aishy had a race yesterday,

ahr:134 max:182

Another wee trot from the parents on a pretty warm evening. Wanting an easy day as yesterday was a bit longer than planed and my body is just not used to running at the moment. Explored a bit and find a few new local bits that I didn't know about.

Easy trot to the north of Esperaza. Found some lovely wee trails above Montazels, including lots of scarecrows. Nearly stood on a wee snake near the end - made me just a goof foot mid stride! Apparently a ladder snake and not poisonous.

ahr:134 max:157 shoes: Asics Trabuco 12 WR

Wee trot from the parents. Quads not happy and very sleepy, so a struggle to get out. As always, well worth the effort, lovely and mild but the ground a little sticky. Took it very easy.

MDC from Llanwonno. Not too excited about the location but actually really enjoyed most of the run. Lovely clear evening with the sun going down as we topped the volcano. Quads not happy and noticing the lack of fitness, but had fun. Great food after in a proper valley local pub.

In to town to watch the half marathon and to try and support Kris. Got a thumps up from him just after the start, missed him at the second viewing point (he was going too quick) and then got saw him again just after half way and just before the finish. Quite a tidy time!

Around a bit of the Gower with Emma, partly as she has hardly been there and partly to fill an annoying gap in the coast path at Oxwich! Very slow pace but very enjoyable and mild without being warm.

MDC run around Llantrisant in fading light, decent group out but just about everyone opted for the slower group, leaving just 4 of us in the faster group. Really struggled to get moving at the start, but eventually got going. Explored some new bike paths and checked out some new thinning before heading out of the woods. Found a great new way off the hill and back along the valley. Possibly the first MDC run that I've done without a stop?
