Have been having a very lazy time the last week but had a target this weekend. Scott came over as he was intending to run the cupar 5 and I would be bag man as he was going to run over to Cupar from our house in Leslie .
This would be a 15 mile "warm up" to get to registration in time for the start. I was a bit concerned as we had snow "again" through the night and I thought it would be one hell of a slog to get to the race.He set off and I followed later in the car complete with dry clothes and a flask of coffee. I was amazed as after only three miles heading from home the snow had gone at the lower levels so not as bad as I had feared. I got to Cupar well before he was due in so parked near the start of the race and walked back into town to the YMCA where registration was being held. I know I don't run anymore but still get that "tingle" milling around before the start, it's nice as well to be greeted by some of the runners who know me through Scott. The lad arrived a little later than expected looking completely knackered and shivering like mad, (he had admitted to a sore throat on getting up in the morning). I said don't run but that was a waste of time he was putting the training miles in so was running or going to jog it.
