Lacking motivation and low on energy. Hoped an easy run might help, so headed out along the r/w with J. Lap of Aboyne Loch and home the same way. Picked up a bit, but still a very sluggish pace.

Had planned a day out over to Creag Meagaidh with E. The gods gave me lots of hints that it wasn't to be, but decided to ignore them... upshot was that we didn't set off from the cp until 12:45, but at least the days are still long. Headed first up onto Carn Liath, finding a great patch of fruiting cloudberry quite high up. Then continued to Stob Poite Coire Ardair before dropping to the Window and climbing up onto Creag Meagaidh itself. Lots of brightness and stayed dry until we hit the last summit when the rain came in and the cloud dropped. Pretty unpleasant for the next half hour as we headed down via Sron a Choire and glad of full waterproofs, hat and gloves. The rain eased later, but it was still a long plod back. Out for 5 1/2 h.
3 new Munros bagged for me as well as E.

Jog down to railway for intervals and back after.

8x2'+1'. First one felt just awful, but they got better after that. Distances better than expected for first interval session in a while. Legs tired by the last two. E for company on the bike - probably as well he wasn't duffing me up on foot.

Lap of the woods. Batteries need some serious recharging. No usb sockets in the tent.

Clear blue skies on Skye - a day to make the most of. Walk up Bla Bheinn with J and E. Great 360 views from the top over the ridge, out to Rhum and back to the mainland, just clagging in as we got back to the car. Out for 4h or so. Legs feeling pretty good, at least for this.

Chilleo day on Raasay. Various potters around the coast and cake at the tearoom. 3 tired bunnies.
