It is almost a year to the day that Lindsay and I ran our first race in this year-long running challenge. We stayed overnight in Oban and got up at dawn to get on a very early 4-hour ferry journey to Tiree (our poor families on tow) to take part in the Tiree half marathon. It started and finished on the beach which was lovely scenery-wise but difficult to actually run on. I remember half way round thinking that I was unlikely to make it back alive, and wondering if they would ever find my body on the deserted moor…
