Run on West Highland Way trail at Loch Lomond, following by unbelievable tasty lunch at an inn overlooking the lake.

Amazing day of riding at Glentress Forest: http://www.glentressforest.com/ Definitely some of the best riding I've done in my life, and after a crazy wind storm that had me landing in Edinburgh instead of Glasgow the day before, was so happy that the weather cooperated for the ride.

Snowy beer mile at a track in Maryhill area of Glasgow. My friends organized this through their running club for my visit which was so thoughtful. Eight people turned up. Not my best beer mile by far as I chose a bad beer and had a hard time getting them down quickly, but I kept them all down and didn't have to do a consolation lap.

Short workout this morning before heading into town for my last day in Dublin. Tomorrow I'm bound for Glasgow to meet up with a couple of Mas Locos that I met in Mexico last year.

Awesome run in Phoenix Park. I was skeptical when my friend wanted to drop me off here for my run but I was happy to be proven wrong. In the heart of Dublin, it's Europe's largest urban park and I could have spent hours in there (I think it's about 1700-1800 acres and boasts the zoo and the President's house). Found tons of great singletrack and was regretting telling my friend to pick me up in 45 minutes. May try to go back tomorrow.

Up and down a "slieve" in Carlingford before breakfast. Sounds like I have gotten pretty lucky with the weather here so far. Running and hiking comfortably in shorts. Wish I'd had more time up here to explore, but breakfast ended at 10. As many know, I'm a big fan of the fried potato family, but I have definitely met my match in Ireland!

Exploring run from my friends' place in Dublin. Mostly road but found a few little trails to explore. Felt good to stretch out the kinks from a long day of travel yesterday.
