Last day - a bit of a wreck, but I loved it
... I feel wrecked. Someone might as well finish off the job and give me a pounding with a rubber mallet. Nevertheless, I'm a runner because it makes me feel good, better than any happy pill. Just pulling on my running vest and lacing up my Nike's first thing in the morning is worth getting out of bed for, and the high I get after a good workout will last the whole day. That is why I loved this holiday. Cheaper running ...
Day 5 - Just like Scotland: mountains & rain
... that offered resistance. Then, for a two hour return mini-bus journey into town, I had the company of five women who were nattering continuously. We went out to dinner tonight, to a nearby mountain refuge renowned for its passionate chef. I consumed a serious quantity of 28 day hung, Aberdeen Angus beef, cooked rare (the only option). The Fennel soup and Dauphinoise potatoes, although divine, were incidental to the Cote de Boeuf Angus. Then came the Chef's commentary ...

Day 2
... training. So, new vitamins for me when I get back. Anyway, let me share what happened today. Beautiful weather, about 25 Degrees and a day for the factor 20. Morning: 10 mile mountain run, Time: 1 hour, 35 min's; Pace: totally irrelevant; Heart rate effort: 80%; Calories spent: 1205. The run started at about 1,000 Meters, reached 1,500 Meters at highest point. Mostly mountain trails, with spectacular views over Lake Annecy and beyond. The inclines were tough going and ...
