Run Across Scotland (for Running the Highlands), Day 1 - Inverness to Drumnadrochit, 20 miles. Long day, but easy pace (group slower and much happier to stop for views, photos etc than October group!). Chest still a but gunked up but antibiotics working their miracle as usual!

Cycle from home to Potties with Sarah and Ewan (on tag-along). Took it nice and steady, not too much coughing. Stopped at Kinker for a lolly on way back - pretty hot and very humid.

Rest day (still not right - got antibiotics for chest from GP). Except ended up digging out drains, and rebuilding track after thunderstorms - 93 mm rain in 8-9 hours.

C • ten miles away and no rain worth speaking of! 1

Hanging controls in Dess for schools event. Feeling dreadful on any uphill. Chest still full of gunk (and nose too).

Still not right - chest still bubbling and monstrous green snot from nose and lungs in morning.

Jogging round Dess Woods while revising map (and Ewan waiting for me). Chest not good.

1.5 hours walking round checking map with Ewan (for most of it!)

Still feeling a bit under the weather.
