That was difficult - poor planning! W4R2

Hmmmm, one of the things that the sun does is melt the snow...so when planning a route you shouldn't put in a stream you can normally jump!

It was amazing how the psychology kicks in at that point - the run immediately felt harder and I had to push myself to finish by double backing a few times... I think I was still tired from all the walking too!

Ah well - I did finish...so on to the next one.

its amazing how the mind can completely ruin your run isn't it!

But you finished - so well done. Hopefully next time you will be prepared for that stream and the run will go smoothly. Good luck

You're right. Some of the biggest obstacles are in your head. Always celebrate completing a hard or difficult run.

the joys of living at the foot of the Cairngorms - where we were still getting snow last week! Lots lying on the tops, but as it melts......it flows!
