A Spot of Advertising at Fort George
It’s been busy busy busy here at Invergarry Lodge, the mad summer rush has been going for about 6 weeks now and is only just showing signs of abating. I was beginning to feel like I was on a treadmill of bed-changing, cleaning, CBeebies and dog-walking, when my friend Anna asked if I fancied joining her on a charity 10k run up at Fort George. Glad of the chance to break the bed-making routine and get some much-needed exercise, I agreed, on two conditions – firstly that she arrange some better weather than the rain we’ve been having on-off for most of the summer, and secondly that she help me do a bit of free advertising with the wearing of an Invergarry Lodge running vest. She agreed to my terms, so we were on!
As promised the day dawned bright and sunny and I tootled up towards Beauly having made not a single bed, and feeling all the better for it. I tried to forget that I hadn’t actually been out for a run since my half-marathon back in May, and told myself it would just be a nice gentle jog in some nice scenery.
In fact, it was just that. The route was very pleasant and took in much of Ardersier including some lovely sea views, and if anything the sun was too hot in places as we sweated our way around the course. It wasn’t very hilly so made a great run for a beginner like Anna, and an out-of-practice amateur like me.
