I’m forty six miles in and my legs are burning. I left Glasgow more than 2 hours ago and this hill seems be never ending. Finally I reach the summit and begin to descend slowly, catching my breath. I’m a mere 5 miles from my destination of Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh after taking on the annual […]
