Anyway, since I last posted I have been on a solo cycle ride as spring chicken was still feeling a bit washed out. Fortunately, I remembered the route we took the other night and was only a minute slower which I was quite pleased with.
I had a couple of days off and so, as I had woken just after my usual time, we decided that we should go out and climb a hill. We packed our bags, including waterproofs and warm hat, gloves etc. and headed to Blair Atholl, Old Bridge of Tilt to be precise (don't some Scottish places have quaint names). We arrived in glorious sunshine and to be advised that stalkers were out and so our planned round route was not possible. We climbed two munros and as we had to come back the same way the first was climbed again! I think it is the first time I have ever climbed a hill and not required all my extra layers at the top, in fact a touch of sunburn was acquired.
Hubby decided that if we were going to run then we would need the correct footwear. So, after researching, a visit to Run and Become was scheduled. I was a little concerned that the shop would be intimidating but I couldn't have been more wrong. The lady that served us was really lovely and after watching how I walked brought out a couple of pairs of shoes. Now, you don't have to be colour conscious when buying running shoes, they do not seem to come in dull shades! The lady also said to try the Couch to 5k website to help us 'begin' running. Running shoes are not cheap but hopefully my feet will appreciate them.
