Glencoe Marathon

Any of you crazy kids doing this on Sunday?

My mind sometimes has ideas that my body disapproves of so i'll be doing it but not very fast. I'll be on a run/walk strategy but trying to run most of it other than the tougher uphill bits. You get ten hours, i'll be delighted with anything around the seven hour mark.

Thanks for the heads up.

In answer to your question: No.

Note to self: avoid that whole area this Sunday. :roll:

6h45m for me. Really tough but a great event if you want to test your mettle.
