Glenlivet 10k

Sunday is runday as we headed off into the hills of Glenlivet for a 10k which has been voted "The most beautiful run in Scotland" And there is no doubt that the scenery is stunning but when you are slogging yourself up a seemingly endless hill looking at your surroundings is the last thing you feel like doing"

An action shot - that is me in the white T shirt.

But we made it and the moment had to be captured forever with many finishing line photos! Glad there wasn't one of me on the rickety moving wooden bridge just after the finish line - that was more scary than the race itself - but it was the only way to get my medal. 

My Garmin recorded my time as 59.06 but I think I like my chip time better!

You have to love a goody bag which includes a dram and shortbread.

Miltonduff 10k

Last Sunday was the warmest day of the year so far in the North East of Scotland.

In March we are more used to wearing woolly hats and gloves.

But it was definately t shirt weather for running 10k starting and finishing at Miltonduff Distillery.

Who knew it was so hilly around Miltonduff??

I got up the hills fine but then struggled to keep going without a short walking break.

Was never so glad to see the water stop at 3.5 miles.

Approaching the finish line.

But I got round in under an hour and slightly bettered my Brodie 10k time in 58.30

Next weekend is the Glenlivet 10k
Bring on the even bigger hills!!@

Another photo taken with my phone whilst out running. 10k down a local cycle path on a beautiful clear and cold Sunday morning.

Skywatch Friday

On Sunday 1st November I took part in the inaugural Brodie 10k road race.

I was only notified I had a place late on the Thursday night.

But the day dawned bright and sunny.

A beautiful location for a run.

Bit gutted I didn't manage a PB and finish in under an hour - but 1 hour 41 seconds isn't to be sniffed at for only my second 10k.

I have learnt that my face resembles a Ribena berry after a 10K run - and I feel about 92! I won't mention the hair.
