On your marks...

There are just a few days to go now before the Lochaber Marathon and we're just about ready to go - despite going to a wedding in Ireland earlier this week!

We've run up to 20 miles, a long run which we did a couple of Sundays ago (three weeks before race day). That was a fairly flat route taking in the lovely shore road between North Kessock and Redcastle, and back. We did an out-and-back route to try to prepare psychologically as well as physically for marathon day, when the route turns back on itself after 13.1 miles.

This week has just involved a few half-hour or less 'jogs' to keep the legs ticking over, and I guess it'll be pasta for dinner!
