Just a very light 4.42 mile today around Pex Hill on the soft ground. Took it steady due to tight calf from a few days ago that now seems to have eased. The stretching exercises seems to have helped a lot as well.

The Edges with Fleeter, Greenfield upto Alphin, Wimberry, Top Res, Fox Stone, Thomas Platt Memorial Cross, Alderman and than blat over the moor to The Cross Keys, quick pint whilst watching The Rush Cart Morris Men do their stuff (it's amazing how many Morris Men came upto us telling us how they used to be fell runners, is this a natural progression:eek:, don't think I will be putting bells on my Inov8's just yet). From Cross Keys back over to Greenfield...Cracking run, great way to while away two and a half hours. Cheers to Fleeter for the run..
cheers pal,was a good run
A nice steady run out over PPP route from Horton to Ribblehead with clubmates, followed by an excellent Steak and Old Speckled Hen pie at Helwith Bridge. A very pleasant way to spend a Bank Holiday!
Sounds like a great Bank Holiday Monday, not a bad pub. Ale & fellrunning :)Quote:

Yesterday - 1 1/2 hours around Dovestones. Managed to get in three climbs onto the tops so quite intensive. It must have been "visit Dovestones annual day" yesterday - place was absolutely packed over the bank holiday Monday.
Yesterday: 1 hr 30 on bike with several all out sprints for as long as I caould handle it.
Today: gym weights and balance session for 45 minutes.
Shagged.
7 miles mostly off road. Longest run since February. I'm bloody unfit!
Raced on Sunday, raced on Monday - today's training is a good rest!:)
For how long ? Might include this more often in my training regime.Will have too see what the mrs says though !! :DQuote:
Shagged.
I can see speed sessions on the horizon !!
six miles road run today!
Carrbrook, Stalybridge, up Mottram Old Road, left at top and down the back road to the round about. Back up Mottram Road passed Roe Crss and down to Stalybridge main lights. Up to main road to bottom mossley and back through the old power station. Lovely run, all on road (well pavements!) Wet for the last 8 minutes.
Now where to run this afternoon.
Get round them resers up in Tintwistle !!, nice and peaceful up thereQuote:

You enjoying the school holidays Swoop, or do you miss the nice six weeks off us teachers get? You not fancy dusting off the maths books ready for next week?
I just can't bring myself to plod round those resers with all those luvly luvly moors on each side - I do try to make the effort and do some intervals down the trail now and again though:rolleyes:!
Yes, I am enjoying the school holidays.Quote:

The maths books can stay where they are.:D
A 5 miler last night up and round the back of High Hill over Settle; I felt like I had found an extra gear too which is nice.
7ml or so steady with club last night.
just 3.5 miles this am, had to be in bloody work early:mad:
33 mins round Mossy Lea, back to five runs now as Cricket season is coming to a close, will build up to Seven + , regain a proper base, start some sessions and choose some races !!
Short 4.6 mile tonight on the roads of Cronton and Rainhill.
Last night -Easy "stumble" over to Churchhill playing fields track, Greenfield. 3 x pyramid at 25/50/75 + 100, followed by 20 mins diagonals on the soccer pitch... Not run on a track since school days, some of the lads had organised the track session, a nice change bit of variety! Realised that I am no longer a gazelle more of a mule :D
4m to work last night. 4m home this morning. Hope this inspires someone to get out for a run today;) Its inspired me to go to bed:D
Merry, when I've finished my 2nd mug of tea I'll be nipping down to the Strid Woods at Bolton Abbey for a 4 or 5miler! Sleep well :-)Quote:
