Having done very little all week, save for a 3.5 mile MTB ride, a spot of open water swimming in a quarry pool on Easdale Island and a few walks on different isles, I decided that I'd better try to get a run in today on my last day of holiday.
I got Duncan to drop me off at the Bridge Over the Atlantic on our way back to the cottage so that I could run back.
At first, my shins were really sore. I had to stop to stretch them out three times but by about 2.25 miles in, the pain disappeared and I was OK for the last couple of miles. Maybe I'm just not used to running on roads these days.
The lack of exercise and copious scoffing of cakes, ice cream and alcohol have resulted in me having put on a whopping three pounds during my eight day holiday! I'd better get off my ass and get running!
Total distance - 4.25 miles
