The first race entry for 2010 I filled out was for the Highland Fling. This is a 53 mile off road event that runs the first half of the West Highland Way in April.
It was great to see on the race website that I had been registered. Due to an accident of birth I had the good fortune of seeing myself one place above Jez Bragg. I know my legs will not keep me in front of the man who has won this event for the last two years but I will enjoy seeing my name next to his until the starter’s gun goes off.
About Me
- Tom
- The future: To celebrate 30 years of being I aim to run 3 x 100 mile runs over the summer and autumn of 2010 and tell the story of them + some more. The past: I took running up properly, by mistake, in 2005. An accidental ‘yes’ lead to my first ultra that year and since then hours have been spent on trails, tracks, the ergo, mountain sides, in circuits and muddy fields. Despite being determined I have plenty of self doubt. The mixture has lead to me being well suited to an ultra plodder – I have decided to start a blog about my running and how this fits into my life, or should I have reversed that?
