Running (road) long 1:33:09 12.45 km (7:29 / km) +633m 5:58 / km

Annalecka, Barnacullion, Stoney Top, Tonlagee and back down Kevin's Way.
A boggy run at the best of times. Today was no different. Wasn't too bad until I got to Barnacullion, Up there was wet, fairy run time... Very very little visibility so some nice nav required. It was rough as usual getting across to Stoney Top and then the wind picked up and up until visibility was sub 5m and the cliffs were on my leeward side. Approaching the summit of Tonlagee I see two guys start. There were two army lads in full kit huddling up there out of the wind. Ran by them, said "nice afternoon lads" and left them to it. Trusty compass bearing off Tonlagee and hit the path beautifully, The tourist bus at the Wicklow gap was a little shocked by me appearing. Then on down lovely runnable Kevin's Way (sarcasm btw)
Faster than when I did this last year.
I have no regrets for deciding not to do the Rogaine this year. Wicklow is atrociously wet.

Easy run on the Lugnagraogh hills loop. Was nice, managed to somehow not get rained on!
Discovered that a large portion of the mess in my room was due to my maps so I took them all out and ths evening has been assigned to sorting them...

Decided to get a new mountain in today. Went up Carrigvoher in the beautiful rain... It was so so wet. Essentially running in a boggy lake the entire time!
Started up Gravale, thought I got to the top and turned around but didnt have a map so didnt realise that it was only the nose before it. Damn, have to go back another day.
In any case a lovely run.
