The Tempest

Sadly our training run was cancelled for the rather trivial reason of hurricane force winds and torrential ran/hail/snow. However, as I already had my shorts on and had done my stretch I decided that I'd chance a run up Cnoc Croit na Maoile behind Muir of Ord. During this pleasant trip a number of things became apparent to me:

1. Storm force winds and horizontal hail apparently are good reasons not to go for a run

2. Running through a forest in the dark in half a foot of snow and many rustling branches is relatively scary. Especially as I was following the footsteps of what can only have been a leopard (or possibly a weasel)

3. I'm an idiot

The following photos and short instructional video (requires sound for maximum impact) chart the course of the evening.
