A slippery slope...

The snow and ice has more or less melted away now and, while it made it more difficult to get out and run, it made for some great scenery earlier this week.

We were down in Lancashire visiting family at the weekend and got out for a good hour-long run on the roads over the moors.

And yesterday Inverness was looking beautiful in the low winter sun when I went out on the Great Glen Way.

At the moment, I'm just trying to build up some regular running fitness by going out two or three times a week, then I will build that up after Christmas before my 'official' training plan kicks in towards the end of January.
