Chest survived yesterday, so headed out a longer run with Neil and Zanthe and Amicia and Eddie up to Illgill Head. Incredibly wet out and driving wind and rain which was thankfully mainly behind us along the ridge. Again tried to not put the chest under too much stress on the climbs.

Chest still a bit tight, but managed a full nights sleep without any coughing.
Headed out with the gang (Steve, Amicia, Tom, Eddie) from Wasdale Head, just kept the pace easy so my lungs weren’t taxed. Up to Black Sail Pass into the snow then on up Kirk Fell. A little sketchy on the steep ascent, stopped to give the new microspikes a whirl. Drifting snow and a crusty layer on top, clag down and not much visibility but we stopped for a photo on top. A bit too far right coming off the trig towards Great Gable, thanks to my expert navigation, but got everyone off the hill safely. Stopped to take the microspikes off on the way down and then decided it would a good idea to catch up with Tom. The DOMS are proof that it wasn’t a good idea!

Another night of coughing, but hoping for a run tomorrow.

Really ****** off with this cold now.

Up all night coughing.

Boo

Now its spread to my chest, so no run in the cold
