A nice 3.63 mile on the roads for me tonight in 24 mins.
Egad! :eek: Who shaves your head - do you do? I tried it once to go with the ol' goatee. V. practical but it didn't suit me, made me look even more of a convict.... :DQuote:

Most refreshing! :rolleyes:
yup, D.I.Y job ;)Quote:

Definitely something "other worldly" about a man who has a shaven head and sports a goatee... ;) Ever tried having a beard Merrylegs? :pQuote:

42 mins round the tame valley park, very wet !
Two of us travelled up to Roddlesworth in the rain this morning.
Ran around Darwen Moor, Sunnyhurst Wood and Roddlesworth Woods
for 2 hours with no rain at all although it was very windy up on the moor.
Had a nice all-day breakfast in the pub and then returned home to more rain!
Great day!:D
AM 5 mile steady
PM Warm up, 2 mins. 3 mins, 4mins x three sets. Warm down.
Andi, you've ruined me this weekend, ive managed about 10 miles sinse we got back! Think Catbells was a good start for this malarky!
I really need to get some more miles in my legs getting out tonight for a solid 12 miles up and around Harrop Edge.
Are you racing saturday?
Cheers
AK
Hi Andy,
No not racing Saturday. Just training then going to run Duncans race on Sunday. Going to run it as part of my long Sunday run, so if you are doing it you can do another 90 mins afterwards with me!!!
You missed a cracking run/rock climb on Sunday. Visability was about 10metres. Climbed Robinson on the aniversary waltz run.
Are you going to be joining the FRA now?
'Courteener' was Andy your 'escourt' on the run round the lakes:DQuote:

Think i will come along to Duncans race on sunday, im keen to start trying to kick on for the cross so will be good for me. Not sure about you dragging me round for some more punishment after thought!!!
I ended up just doing the 10 miles round Derwentwater Sunday morning, was pretty lame to be honest, as soon as i set off i regretted not coming with you lot!
10 Miles from the Bluebell tonight with the lads followed by a nice pint of Guinness!
About an hour's worth of running over the tops and through Attamire Scar yesterday evening. A top blow out.
5 mile AM
15 min warm up, 30 min tempo, 15 min warm down. PM Ran up Mottram Old Road. I am sure that road gets tougher!!!
Hill repeats up various sections of the embankment leading upto Dovestones Res, working at 90-95% of MHR, 3 x 5 mins, 1 x 7.5 mins....Overall 1.14hr session, Excellent! Beautiful evening, now off to The Clarence for isotonic lager :D
How do you do a 5 min rep up a banking thats 50m long? Were you running up and down it?
About 7 miles on the trails and mud on Tues. Just beat the rain back to the van. Good pub after.
Even more mud and puddles for about 6 miles on Wed and very swift stop at pub
Tonight rest! and get over disappointment re LDMT ( no criticism there - I bet they are gutted after all their hard work and extra effort)
Yep, running up and down it for the 5 mins, before moving onto the next section good,,good progression, starting up nr the car park and working down towards the corner of the res....Quote:

An hour round Low Bradley and the Pinnacle for me. Looking forward to getting home next week for more adventures on Holme Moss and Dove Stones.
Up early(ish) this morning and ran about 8ml from Bolton Abbey cricket ground to Barden Bridge and back on the Dales Way. No-one about and felt good on a perfect morning for a run out!
Sounds idyllic matey. Brief haitus for myself - resting to get over an injury and a cold. Weekend orf.Quote:

Don't check the calendar; its not in!
