Long day from Chefchaouen to Cascades d'achkour or something like that. Annoyingly grim underfoot but a good long run with the boi. Had the grimmest lunch ever at half way. 50% oil. We had no choice as we were halfway up hill... Cracking falls though and a good Grundy day out. Time to rest the foot!

Grind up and easy back down through some cannabis filled fields from Chefchaouen. Couple of strides at the end as well, feeling faaast but instadoms big time wasn't a good idea... Nothing too grim after the last few days. I have lost a lot of weight as well, will be interesting to see the scales when I get home...
Woke up and watched some monkeys meander around where we were sleeping, very cool. Then meandered 8km down the road to Azrou where we had a quick breakfast and took a grand taxi to Fez. Started to go for a run after lunch but.felt a bit rough. Emptied all contents onto the side of the track before slowly walking home while Ed went and fetched m some water, good lad. Got back at three ish and was dragonwhatsiting in the room for the next 8 hours, what fun.
Jog into some barren pre-desert. Some diagonals on a footy pitch. 10x ~15 seconds. Broken by the end, didn't take much to flatten me at 30° with the sun right above.

From the hostel in Tinghir to the Todra gorge. Nice plod in the morning heat with some good chat. Good views and a welcome wash in the river on arrival.
