Kaunas Marathon: A Lithuanian Win

Late 2014 Scott and our friend Ally have been running in the Pentlands. I have been at work. Now they are at the pub. I get a call from Scott saying that they are having another pint and is currently being talked into running a marathon in Cowness next June with Ally and Norm. Cowness? I've seen quite a bit of Scotland but haven't heard of it. Turns out it's Kaunas; a city in Lithuania. Cheap hotels, cheap beer and sunshine. I text asking if I can come. They don't really want a girl crashing their lad's weekend but I make a persuasive argument (mostly about my awesomeness) and am accepted. Since returning, I look at people smugly when they ask where Kaunas is. Err, Lithuania. No, not the capital. That's Vilnius. Yes, I went there too.
