Running 45:00 [3]
The run bit.
8 AM
Paddling 40:00 [3]
When running by the Grand River the day before, saw how ridiculously high the river was and wanted to get out on it as soon as I could!
Put in at Kolb Park and paddled to Freeport, then stashed my boat and ran back to my car along roads and the Grand River trail.
Weather was not particularly agreeable but really enjoyed the fast moving water and run felt good as well.

Running 30:00 [3]
shoes: Luna Leadville
Lovely morning run in the fresh crisp air!
Have been rotating through the five pairs of shoes I've bought this year to see which pair are most achilles-friendly as Daniel has been a persistent fucker lately, rearing his ugly head on almost all my runs. The kicker...the only 'shoes' that allow me to run discomfort-free are my Lunas, but I'm not comfortable enough wearing them for longer distances. My chiropractor suggested this week that it may be because there is no heel cup to rub on the back of my heel. Intriguing, but not helpful!
If anyone is curious, these are the Luna Leadvilles: http://www.lunasandals.com/products/leadville-trai...

Strength Training 30:00 [2]
CX Works at the gym. Only tried this once before when it first came out and thought it was too confusing with all the fancy band moves, but this time was much better and I'm sure I'm going to be sore tomorrow!

"Ring of Steall" in the Mamores section of the Charlie Ramsay Round just outside of Fort William. A bit of a later start than expected due to a few too many pints consumed out in the Fort the night before. Plan was to do what we thought were five munros in a horseshoe shape starting from Glen Nevis. Took a few hours to get from the parking lot up to the top of the first Munro - An Gearanach (982m). Some sketchiness along a ridge between that and Munro #2 - Stob Coire a' Chairn (981m) resulted in a minor tantrum as I definitely was on the edge of my comfort zone! Munro #3 - Am Bodach (1032m) was probably the toughest climb of the day and I was using my hands a few times to scramble up the side of the hill. The next hill - Sgorr an lubhair (1001m) used to be a Munro but apparently didn't live up to its potential and was now just a subsidiary top. From there, the route traversed the Devil's Ridge which saw another wee tantrum from yours truly when the trail disappeared and there was some rock hugging to continue along the ridge. The last Munro of the day - Sgurr a' Mhaim (1099m) was a beautiful climb from the Devil's Ridge. After the requisite summit pictures, it was a long descent back to the road and the van.
When we got back to Glasgow we watched the Charlie Ramsay episode of Boundless with a couple of beers. Remember watching that earlier this year and thinking it looked pretty epic and was just as amazing to see it in person! We had relatively good weather but high winds at the tops and could totally picture what the conditions were like when they were out there!
A few more Munros and the Tinto hill race planned for my next trip out there at the end of October.
