Greenfield upto Pots N' Pans, across to Alderman and back home....have we skipped autumn and gone straight into winter, hail and winds so strong (around 4.30pm) that I could hardly stand on Aldermans summit. Tilly, my dog none too impressed at being forced from her cosy bed and sent headlong into the maelstrom
Consider yourself lightly; consider the world deeply.
A light 3 mile on the grass at 9.15pm tonight first time out with head torch in very wet conditions. Cut the run short due to thunder and lightning.
The usual early pm jaunt (if it's quiet in the office that is): 4 miles on hilly roads inc 2 x 500ft climbs. Pooped now, time for tea and a banana or two...
Lunchtime 25 mins on treadmill, hated very minute of it
After work 27 mins to get that treadmill out of my system, round Old Glossop, two runs in a day a long time since i last did that !
A swampy 6 miles. The fields and moors around Hameldon are saturated, makes for very heavy going. Noticed my shoes are getting to the fooked stage now, studs fairly OK but panels are starting to part company with the main body of the shoe. Hope they manage the task ahead of them on Saturday, be a shame if I had a stormer and then my shoes fell apart 2 miles from the end
A 5.5 miler with Tryfan after work around the Trail & XC paths of Pex Hill in sunshine. Very wet and muddy under foot though after the torrential downpours of this afternoon.

Good luck anyway
5m/1250ft Very boggy on Norland Moor and loaded with snappy/barky dogs
Hills and Guinness!
4 x hill reps on Alphin, followed by a trip across to Wimberry. Arrived at Wimberry with the sun just on the horizon, beautiful evening and gorgeous colours in The Chew, life is good
However back to torrential rain again this morning, hope to get a run in this afternoon.

T'other night 3 of us spent some 2 hours on a circular route up from Holme and around Black Hill / Holme Moss. Bucketing it down all the way round, blowing a gale and v. poor visibility on the tops - even the HM mast was obscured by cloud. Bombed out at the end and came down the road section - v. glad to get out of the wind at that time of night.
As bad weather as I've run in over the past 6 months, more akin to TOP conditions!
