View from the top

Today we went to Peebles where Mr Rat ran the parkrun (came 5th in his fastest time for ages) and then along the river to the Glentress Centre whilst I ran the Glentress Half Marathon.
It was warm (13-14C) with hazy sun and we could actually see the views this year. It's the toughest half marathin I've done as it climbs a total of 725m (or there abouts) with lots of ups and downs - including when you think you're heading down.
2 brief pauses for pics, this from the highest point nearly 2/3 of the way through and an added bonus of winning the FV60 category again and being nearly 7 mins faster than last year (though no snow and ice this time which accounted for part of it).
3 days ago my legs didn't want to run so I started out with no expectations - maybe that was the key!
