I have had 5 days off. The first was spent in Aviemore, talking for 8 hrs to my friend and guru. (not very good photo of Adverikie Castle (Monarch of The Glen) which is sitting on a frozen lochside). The next two were spent helping Spook and Chloe with the Wee Triathlon and finally on Monday - still helping No Fuss by bringing in some more signs - I started my 'training'. I ran round the Peat Track, but clearly not very fast as I took lot's of photos. The one of the zigzags on the snowy Ben Nevis was taken to remind me how much bigger it is than The Peat Track and that I have a long way to go. It was good to be out in the fresh air and enjoying a change of scenery - Fort William, Loch Linnhe, The Achintee Inn, The British Alcan Factory.
Today I am spring cleaning a caravan for visitors coming on Saturday and putting the nitty gritty off by writing this blog.
I need to buy batteries for the scales as we have arrived at that time of year where Spook and I join other Ben Race entries in the quest to reach the ideal Ben Weight. I figure I must be at least 10lbs over my normal running wieght and one doesn't want to drag that kind of excess up a mountain. As I haven't bought the batteries yet, I am not too worried about the 2 cream buns I had the other day, the fish and chips on the way home from Inverness last night, nor the lovely big pancake I had with morning coffee. But once the truth is known......................
