... aaand Welcome Sports Fans! ... to the road that never ends – except on this, the penultimate Day 5 of Team Maggie's Run 100
Wednesday 17, sees Serpentine Gal: Laura Lee and her fellow compatriots running 21 miles from Glen Affric – Morvich “OFF ROAD” while making a Scottish Highland ascent of 602 metres. Just what are these Maggie’s folk made of? www.maggiescentres.org
Prior to getting go today, reports confirm the team underwent “A VERY SERIOUS HEALTH AND SAFETY BREIFING” and they would be running with absolutely “NO SUPPORT VEHICLE” whatsoever, to which one team member commented “EEEK”! One can only wonder why they do this to themselves? https://www.justgiving.com/TeamRun100/
Furthermore, a confidential source, at 9.27 this morning, reported our own Ms Lee as saying:
..“heading off to some blustery black clouds overhead ... hope to out run the rain but in Scotland you always get all weather in a 15 minute time frame”.
Which leads one to wonder what is it with this Scottish weather? Has it got some confused Andy Warhol famous for 15 minutes thing going down? The weather in the Highlands today was very un-Monet. Scoffing capriciously at the fortitude of Team Maggie's Run 100 it was cloud all the way – intermittent rain – then some, followed by lots of – wind, thrown in for free – and don’t even mention the midges (oh for the bugs of the Serpentine). There’s was no “15 minutes” about it, with the Met Office describing today as “very Francis Bacon”. Readers can monitor the situation (and possibly an artist of their choosing) @maggiesrun100
... and so as the night now descends, the lookouts of Morvich scan the horizon keen, as we all are, to
welcome Team Maggie's Run 100 to a safe evening slumber, where their no doubt, stranger than fiction, end of day truth, will eventually find its way onto: www.maggiesrun100.wordpress.com
