What a day! Absolute cracker. It was the sort of day that helps you see Scotland at it's best. The birds were up early heralding the rising sun and walking the pooch was a joy. I decided to get my work done and dusted as quickly as I could so I started at 6.30 and got stuck in. By 12.15 I had most of it out of the way despite my new metallic kettle destroying the tea that keeps me going when I work.
I texted my neighbour to see if she fancied coming out on the bike for an hour. The response was positive and a few minutes later we set off for the cycle track. Anna is a yoga teacher, a very good one at that and keeps herself fit walking and biking so we made good time down the path sharing stories of the last few days. When we found the sun it was warm and very pleasant, out of the sun the frost hinted at danger on the path and it remained cold.
The run along to Forestmill and then back via Saline was stunning, the deer are down off the hill seeking food and I realised how good their hearing is when my rubbing mudguards disturbed there grazing and they shot off over the hill. It was a day to be outside and a day to revel in the fact that I work for myself!
When I got back I finished off some work and then set off for an hour of circuit training. I'm enjoying the circuits and I think it is doing me good. I'm able to do more of the workout as the weeks go by so hopefully I'm building a stronger core which I hope will help my biking later in the year.
Tomorrow is going to be a long run as the weather prediction is that it's going to get colder later in the week so I thought I'd try and get the long run out of the way. I'm pretty convinced the difference between winter and summer in Scotland is a few extra hours daylight and about 5 degrees!
