Cleaned the house then travelling to Fort William

Another great run in the mountains. Brisk start steadily climbing up the valley on a good path. Over the other side and up the road, then cut off up the mountain to the top. AMAZING views, and straight down the most incredible ridge on the other side.
So fun! Quite rough going down so took a while for that bit, but then back on another great path over the next on, zig zagging up, then down the other path on a steady path to the van, where Mum was waiting with a huge load of Pollock that she caught.
Also stopped off at an amazing gallery on the way home which gave amazing tea and cake for free (donation to charity) - such a nice guy in there.

Anyway, amazing day, best of the holiday! So much Pollock for dinner - bliss.

AMAZING bike ride home from another part of the island, just on my own this time so pushed reasonably hard - SO MUCH FUN!!!!
Harris is an amazing place for cycling, I would definitely go back for a proper cycling holiday. Completely smooth roads for most of it and so empty. Very hilly but all manageable and nice because of how good the roads are. No wind today so it was BLISS. Should have done a super long route and spent the whole day on it, but nice to have a shorter route so could go faster I suppose. Flying.

Coast to coast on Harris! Run home from the beach on the other side. So fun! Made the day a million times better and blew away my grumpiness :)
Went for a nice "sprint" at the end as thought we were almost there, ended up being a few mins as was actually still a way away.
Anyway felt so good despite the last few days and starting off feeling awful!

Cycling round a few gallery's and the Art Cafe (overpriced) on Harris. A bit slow as Hannah was on the mountain bike (beast) and VERY VERY windy so quite frustrating. Nice gallery's though.

P.S. Was meant to be a rest day, but was longer than expected and quite hard because of the wind so it was actually exhausting.

Beasty run with Hannah - so much fun despite the very grey weather!
A lot of steep ground and no paths so was quite slow going at times (even the downhill was too rough for proper running) but very good strength training and a good day.

Morning run with Hannah - just sticked to the roads today. Safe to say I feel much better running in the afternoons, but was SO nice to get out and enjoy the morning! :)
