In my younger days I spent many Monday mornings recovering from the weekend's activities. Back in those days a can of Irn Bru, a roll and sausage and a couple of headache tabletsÌýwas all that was required.

Nowadays a full body massage and a wee lie down is more like what's needed. Unlike the aforementioned hangover cure this is not something that can beÌýsorted while you are sitting at your desk. Not sure whether my aches and pains come from spending a night camping in Mull or running a on the island yesterday. Either way it's made the stairs to the studio hard to negotiate. I will have to do a Mariah Carey and take the lift.

I had a wonderful time camping but today my tired old body is telling me that it's not going to be a weekly occurence.

As you can see from the pictures our day in Mull was a case of 'four seasons in one race'. We started in monsoon-like conditions and finished in glorious sunshine in what must be one of scotland's most scenic half-marathons. It's also one of the friendliest runs I've done with big welcomes and finisher's tape for all the runners.

Maybe see you thereÌýnext year, but if you give it a go just make sure you take a day off work to recover. Ouch...
