Really lazy couple of weeks, been too busy getting ready for the new baby (due in 13 days). Got out at 9 tonight, decided to have a go at a bleep test for the first time since school! Managed 11.10, which claims to be very good but seems a bit slow! I blame the humidity, sweating buckets and running shirtless by level 3. At least it gives me a target for next time, would like to get to the point where each leg is 4min/km as that's my speedy cruising on the road pace.
Back into it the last 2 nights...
Mon: 10 mile road run 7:10 pace or so... legs tired but OK..
Tuesday: 6 mile run in the morning slow. pm: 2 mile run to meet with friends then 9 miles at 6:25 pace.. legs still tired.. struggled to keep with them.
Turbo trainer for 60min before work, 6.5m on the hill yesterday.
Flies, damn them, damn them all. On a plus note I'm running faster than normal.
*adds flies to the official "why I don't like summer" list

Post Wasdale.
off Sunday.
3 mile road Monday, hard work, legs ok body tired. 25mins
tuesday 5.5mile, Seathwaite tarn Dow crag brown pike Walna scar, felt good. Club run with BCR.
These where definitely bog standard flies rather than the satanic Clegs. I wouldnt have packed running kit today if Clegs be on the cards.

I had a horsefly on my tail while out running at the weekend - it cunningly went for my legs (which clearly weren't moving fast enough) and scored 2 direct hits. They love biting chunks out of me, the little s**ts. Apparently their one redeeming feature is their amazing eyes
Its only the females that are bloodsuckers.... hmmmm
