Weather: Spitting rain
A showery but warmish day and I set out when a series of heavy showers finally relent, expecting to get a dousing at some point. We biked 42.3km (26.3 miles) around the Beauly Firth earlier so I don't push the run and stick to flat ground around the River Ness. I head first for the paths over the islands, then run around the edge of Bught Park and all the way past playing fields down to the point where the River and Canal diverge (using so pretty muddy paths on the riverside).
I use the canal towpath to return as far as the A82, then cut back past Queens Park athletics stadium, across Bught Park again and north along the river. Next I plan to run over to the canal but my dodgy sense of direction fails me and I wend my way in residential streets (and past a host of B and Bs) until I find myself back at the river where I cross and take the route home along the river.
I still have 15 minutes to kill so I run along the pedestianised High Street and climb up to Crown Circus before meandering on the streets near our house to complete the hour. And amazingly the real rain never arrived!
