Jogged round to pick up a few controls at Tilquhillie.

Still not right - another bad coughing fit last night - but decided I needed to get out and try a run today. Got dropped at Potties on the way back from training and ran home from there. Felt awful in the legs, but breathing was ok and not too much coughing, so will try and get going again gently over the next couple of days.
Starting to wonder whether to forget the Northumbrian marathon, but don't need to decide just yet.

Felt rubbish again in the afternoon, post run. Then sore throat over night. Need to be careful.

Walk round Tilquhillie with E to help hang a few controls for training. Let E do the navigating.

Cough loosening up and finally a decent night's sleep. Fingers crossed back to running in another day or two.

Walk down to the village and back for a bit of fresh air.

DNC at Dinnet Muir. Couldn't resist the night O despite my lurgy. Plan was to cruise round slowly and spike the controls. All went to plan up to 7, keeping perfect map contact. Only time loss here was getting stuck in the flood waters on the way to 6 and having to turn round to go by the high ground. Then everything went pear-shaped at 8. Must have been relly close and not seen the reflector, but couldn't pin the map detail to the ground and faffed for ~10'. More time lost at 9, 12 and 13 too so a poor performance by the end.
Enjoyed it despite everything. Just hope I didn't distract SG and RH too much as I hacked my way noisily round ;-)
No more running now until this cough clears.
