Well Mr Whinge - last nights handicap involved taking part in said, followed by a facefull of curry for some in't local curry house. So you see you can combine usefull training with spicy delights - missed out there ha ha :D
It did cross my mind Miss Piggie but the 7.15 Penistone Line departure from t'Common just did not give me enuff leeway given my appallingly unfair h'cap time!
Other training this week - Mon 1 hour Pilates; Tues spinning class; Wed technique swim; Thurs 1hr30 hilly ride RPE3. Hmm not much running in evidence - been a bit tired since the Woodland Challenge last Sun. A belting course btw with superb organisation. Had your Beanz and Smash yet??
Tues 2miles loosen off legs am 6 miles roads slight efforts on short hills
Wed 5 miles steady on canal towpaths and roads
Thurs mid afternoon 5 mile fells - sunnyhurst woods-darwin moor -tockholes wood 1 min sunshine next heavy downpoors. Evening 5 miles canal towpath and roads.
Rest up now for relays on sunday- O leg for me
Pete you should have been at the wed street O on Wed not running on lonely canal tow paths. 60 or 75 mins of fast running plus some navigation practice! Jim ran and kept up with the boys and Robyn ran with Bob learning to navigate.
Also Harriers were down on the docks training last night - where were you.
Good Luck for relays. ( next street O is Chorley next wed)
No - had the fruitpots n custard. Rice pudding burst in me bag and anything not washable had to be chucked :)Quote:

Tommorrow going over Blackhill probably on a Crowden Horse shoe varient with a return down Tankies.
First ever fell run!
The lakes. Keswick - Ashness Bridge - up and across to Walla Crag - Back to Keswick.
About 6 miles.....bloody hard running up the road to ashness bridge!
Well done Al, the lakes is an ace place to do your first ever fell run;)Quote:

But i loved it...even if i did have to wait 2.5 hours in keswick until the bus set off back to preston.
Well done Al. You ran past Bob Graham's memorial just before you got to Ashness Bridge - did you know?
Dam it, i didnt know that no, oh well....ill just have to run it again sometime:D
Oh actually ive just googled it and i did actually see it, but just thought it was a bit of a strange cairn so didnt go and inspect it ;)

We've run the track many times so we went up on to West End Moss and down the horse shoe but came through the quarries to say hi to a MR training team on a course and back to car.
10 miles and 1500ft
A very good social run, as we were getting changed another group of Penistone/Dark Peak and White Peak runners turned up I reckon we spent more time chatting than running. When does that ever happen on Tarmac?
I've been away....
First run in a week. Started at Holme village, up the road to Holme Moss, then Tooleyshaw Moss down to Crowden and up the PW to Black Hill. Met IanDarkPeak and Brent (hello!) before the descent off BH and picking up the bridleway back to the car. A 'slow' 2h 30mins. Thoroughly enjoyable stuff! :)
A quick run after work for me this evening...Alphin to Wimberry..1.11.28hr..
Nice n'easy, felt great to be out on the hill after work :)
Hi Ian,Hi Jodg,im up for a warts run,had a look and the next one is at the grouse,will you be there?Jodg,have you joined the dark side by the way?:eek:
Hmmmm maybe not. Will probably head up on to Derwent Edge or along Strines Road if either of you fancy that on Wednesday and yes Jan has joined the Dark Side;)Quote:
