Highland Fling 2015: Buddy Running a Husband

Race: The Highland Fling Distance: 53 miles Date: Saturday 25 April Reason: Keeping Scott company Times previously run:  First ran in 2011, then again in 2012. Marshalled in 2013. Scott's first attempt. The weather forecast based on previous experiences running the fling told me that it would be a hot one. The actual weather forecast told me that it was going to be well cold and raining. Finally, the actual weather meant that there was a wee drizzle at the start and then almost the perfect temperature for the rest. So that is the important weather chat done. Hope you are all creating a lovely bunch of images already.     Scott's bib read MR ANTONIA We start at 6am, near the rear of a 700+ field of runners all hoping to finish the race in 15 hours.
