Saturday is the Highland Fling Race, 53 miles on the West Highland Way. This will be the third time I've ran it, in 2007 I ran 8:44, then in 2008 I dropped that to 8:23 in really wet conditions (and also stopped to take my shoe off and patch up a blister) so this year I'm hoping it's going to stay dry with no hitches and I can make it 3 PB's in a row. I've ran a lot of mileage in the last few months so maybe that will catch up on me later in the race, but I think I've got it right with the build-up... I'll soon find out!! I'll update via Twitter when I get finished.
There's going to be a mens team from Carnegie for the first time in the Fling so hopefully we can all do well, so, good luck to everyone taking part and remember to save me a fishcake supper in the chippy.....

Have a great race Ritchie.
If we both achieve 3 pb's in a row then I reckon you'll catch me around Auchtertyre.
Be nice to me on your way past!!!

Did you just do a 50k run two days ago? If that is taper, what is normal training?
Anyway, see you tomorrow!
Thomas! I'm not THAT mad, the 50k is on a 2 mile loop so I just ran a couple of them (loops not 50k's!)to see what the course is like, see you tomorrow :o)
