ON THE VERGE!!
It was a good day today. The forecast was not good - but what rain we experienced was carried by a wind that came from over our shoulder - so it swept us along and didn't get in our faces.
What did get in our faces was the traffic on the infernal A9. What a nightmare this road is. It was narrower today which meant running on the verge much of the way, which was fortunately short and predominantly flat - but very wet and it made the running hard. After crossing the Cromity Firth we had just 2.5 miles left of the A9 before we finally, and with great celebration, bid it goodbye. We took a photo and shook hands!
The last few miles down into Beauly were on a delightfully quiet rolling country road past farms and woodland. A lovely end to a good strong run that featured two celebrations. Goodbye A9 and hello the first 100 miles (which we reached a mile short of our first break - Woo Hoo!)
We finished today in 5.04 (with another 4.28 marathon) So 120 miles down! Tomorrow we run the length of Loch Ness - can hardly wait. Greg has planned to cycle it but snow is forecast so we will all just have to wait and see...
