9 AM
Hill walking (Surveying) 9:30:00 [1] 11.0 km (51:49 / km) +550m 41:27 / km
Another hard day at the office - Beccy's office, that is. Finished off the first survey, then managed to survey the entire second proposed scheme, much faster than expected. Eee, hard work! And I don't even get paid... Although I do get a nice evening meal after a grand day out in a gorgeous part of the world, so I cannae complain.

Hill walking 3:05:00 [1] 10.0 km (18:30 / km) +970m 12:27 / km
shoes: Inov8 RocLite 305
Morning walk up Ben More on Mull at a nice easy pace with Beccy. Gloriously sunny but windy, until we reached the top when the wind died down and we were able to sit Down and soak in the views and the sunshine. Fab.

Hill walking (Surveying) 4:00:00 [1] 6.0 km (40:00 / km) +200m 34:17 / km
Working as Beccy's unpaid assistant, surveying for otter at a potential hydro site on Mull. Walking/scrambling up a burn, wellies on, trying not to fall down waterfalls... What a strange job my wife has.

Short run, hasty rebooking of ferry to Mull (cancellation of Oban service, have to drive to Lochaline!) meant an earlier departure and less time to run beforehand. Pushed along pretty hard as a result. Chuffing hot day to be grinding uphill on the Sherrifmuir road.

Ran home after dropping off the hire car at 8:30 in Stirling. More notably, ran home before breakfast and without hydrating properly. Felt bl**dy awful! I really should know better. Oh well! It would have been a lovely morning for a run if I'd been able to put my suffering out of my mind and look around me...
HR fantastically high for what was, in reality, a geriatric jog.

WEE Laighills - 4.8km stated, nice wee course planned by Gary. I somehow managed to stop my watch rather than hit the lap button, again, so a bit of a guess at the actual distance.
Started off pretty hard and was consequently pretty rubbish - then soon realised just how dead my legs were and struggled to keep the pace up! The new lightweight urban trail shoes felt good - no cushioning, but I didn't really miss it. Nice. VERY humid and sweaty. Yum BBQ after - thx Louise/Beccy!

Oldham and back in a day. 9 hours of driving, several hours of meeting, breakfast and dinner at Tebay. Thank goodness I don't have to do this very often.

Dumyat from the uni - a bit of exercise before donating some of my (apparently) very rare and very useful blood. I'm sure that's what they tell everyone. Anyway... a lovely afternoon for a steady grind up the hill, 27min from the back of the sports centre so a bit over 26min from the race start - happy enough, I wasn't racing! No mission to break records (or ankles) on the descent, so when I hit the wood I took the slow but delightful little path along the top of the wood, then after crossing the stream climbed back up the road and ran along the tops of Hermitage Wood. Lovely lovely.
Strength training 20:00 [2]
Time to start doing some work on the upper body again, before it has totally wasted away! Ah, those heady days of youth, when I had "guns", not pea-shooters...
