Running in Inverness

We had a nice break in Inverness for a few days. Jo & Jono are away so we stayed in their lovely cottage. I went for a couple of runs and we climbed Ben Wyvis.

Monday 13th October – 6.35mile road run

I did an out and back route as it’s harder to get lost that way. I went early while it just dark and enjoyed the run. Just under 8min per mile pace.

Monday 13th October – walk up Ben Wyvis

We both really enjoyed the walk. The weather was excellent with blue skies and great views.

We went up and down the same route …

Here are a few photos ….

Heading up the hill ….

Lots of stone steps to climb ….

On the ridge ….

At the top (it was a bit colder) ….

Beautiful views on the way back down …

One of our favourite bits walking along the river …

Back at the car park …

There were a few others climbing the Ben including a couple who ran up and down. We both agreed how much easier it was to walk up rather than run!

Tuesday 14th October – off road run 6.07miles

This morning I went for an other early morning run before we packed up and headed back to Paisley. This time I explored the woods close to Jo & Jono’s house. Again I went for an out and back.

After a couple of miles I felt a slight pain in my groin which stayed with me until the end. I’m hoping it’s nothing serious!

Tomorrow we fly to Amsterdam for a few days. My sister’s son Steve is getting married to Marlies on Friday in a place called Zutphen. We are looking forward to our little holiday. We have booked a 3hr cycle tour of Amsterdam tomorrow and plan to hire biked on Saturday and go for a ride.

I’m also hoping to go on a couple of runs no doubt alongside a canal!
