All around the Wrekin - 4 and a bit miles (GPS on the phone quit when my wife rang to see where I was!!) and about 600' of ascent, including a good strong walk up to Little Hill. Average pace was around 10:45, so quite quick for me!!
Trying again to get on with my Mudclaws - got a blister on my left foot this time. The lacing seems to be absolutely critical on these - maybe a pair of two layer socks would help.

30-minute jog last night and 12 x 20 press-ups alt. with 12 x 20 sit-ups/ crunches etc
About 30 Dpers out last night over howden edge, not a cloud in the sky, and a stunning sunset, about 7 miles 1,000ft brilliant.
yesterday 9th April
17m, Bradford 3 peaks, mainly trail.
What a glorious day
A variant on the Mickledon Straddle but still 13 miles and 2,000ft and all before breakfast
Lapwings and curlews were calling and Skylarks were singing, not a breath of wind and just a slight haze in the sky. I didn't see a sole until returning through Langsett woods
Today is a good day to be alive....
Had the best run of the year yet today - straight up the side of Kinder (up The Wicken, just W of Blackden Clough). Around the N edge for a bit, then across to kinder gates, quick dash over to the downfall, back across the middle to the top of Crowden Clough. Round the skyline for a snack stop on Grindsbrook knoll then back into the black stuff for a while, before the Kamikaze descent of Blackden Edge and Dean Hill.....
Only about 11 miles, but absolutely perfect weather, plenty of wildlife, streams are tasting lovely again - a whole summer like today would make me a very happy man!
Warm today, top came off after 500 yards and I had my 1st bare chested run of the year over and round Hameldon hill. Car was displayed an external temp of 15 degrees soon after lunchtime!
13 mile multi-terrain run with Sinatra early this morning in glorious weather.
Longest run i've done at 2hrs 47minutes in what was a perfect evening. Headed up Moel Fenlli then Moel Famau then Moel Arthur and back up Moel Famau via the gulley. Deserved my beer tonight :d
Well done Harrymoon sounds like a great run. enjoy the beer.Originally Posted by harrymoon
