After bumping into Christine Dougan,( daughter of Eddie of Eddies half marathon)
on the ferry home from the Barrathon this year Scot Hill and I were talked into
doing Eddies Half Marathon.
We made our way up on Saturday in torrential
rain to arrive at Fort William and sunshine.
Race day was cold with
blustery wind but no rain!
I was hoping to do much better than my
previous halfs this year and wanted to break 1:40. Scot was hoping to get back
to about a 1:30 time.
The run is out and back with only a few hills. I
was going well until the 12 mile mark when I was really feeling the cold and the
usual wind was in your face.
I was pleased to finish in 1:37:00 and
Scott had a good run at 1:31:51.
We had great support as usual from Irene
and Caroline.
A fish supper at Tyndrum on the way home finished the
weekend perfectly.
