For reasons which are now lost in the mists of wine, I am running the Aviemore Half Marathon on Sunday.  

 

Now I, of all people, should have realised that Aviemore is a ski resort and therefore HILLY, so I have moderated my aspirations from 'would like to finish in under 2 hours' to 'would like to finish without serious humiliation/injury'.  I acknowledge that I will be overtaken by several thousand wiry old men who do this sort of thing for fun every Sunday morning, and I'm looking to you to make it all worth my while by sponsoring me and helping to raise money in a very good cause.

 

Speyside Trust, based at Badaguish Cairngorm Outdoor Centre is a small independent charity helping children and adults with learning difficulties and other special needs - they love the challenge of the outdoors too!   The Trust badly needs funds to develop its respite care activity holidays and work experience/vocational training programmes.

 

(before anyone asks, no - they're not my shoes - I've just invested in a new, fragrant and sparkly pair of running shoes and have no idea why this gaffer-taped effort appears here (although I do know whose they are …))
