Darn it, MY knees are cranky today... Lots of stoney ground today and a gazillion hills on Sunday 🎉

Definately happy with the work put in... Suddenly remembered I have a 'run as far as you can in 12 hours round an' undulating' trail next month so thought a good idea to mix it all up a bit 🗽

I ran Candice's Orcas Island 50 and it was brutal.
