Today was race day in Inverness – and it was a cold and windy one to run 13.1 miles around the city through slushy snow!
\n<\/p>\n

My run wasn’t the best I’ve ever run, in fact it was the slowest for that distance! Thankfully I did manage to do it in under two hours, though 1:45 to 1:50 would have been more like my usual level.<\/p>\n

Never mind, I can blame the weather on this occasion – even though the truth is probably more like the lack of training contributed to me suffering after seven or eight miles and shuffling around the rest of the course.<\/p>\n

Thanks again to all the volunteers, marshalls and organisers. It must have been a cold one stood in the same spot for the duration of the race. At least we could warm up by keeping on running!<\/p>\n

Just got the results <\/a><\/strong>in – 713th out of 1120 runners. Well done to all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
