In between I dug half a ton of soil from below my greenhouse floor and hauled it in buckets to my front garden. A hot job, even with some of the glass panes removed to facilitate easier access. Reckon this was better training than the above. (it's for a heatsink system like old Dicky Strawbridge and his bare chested son James are to be seen installing on TV.)

half a ton? did you weigh it by the ounce? :confused: sounds like that was a doddle of a day..

nice 5 mile run this morning before work :(

Weekend consisted of!

Fri 8 miles in the fells round bolton
Sat 4.5 mile belmont winterhill fell race. Cycled there and back as well :D (and great to see some forum faces)
Sun 16 miles on the road. Had to cut it short by 2-3 mins as my knee really really started to hurt:mad:
Mon 12 miles mtb with some friends (more social) then 40 mins in the gym mainly trying to strengthen knee!

5km race last night - it was fun but having never done such a short race (at least not a flat one) I didn't pace myself very well and could've done a lot better than I did :rolleyes:

ah well!

My weekend consisted of:
Friday 4.5 miles on the road
Sat Coniston Fell race
Sunday Drinking
Monday 8.5 mile on the fells in the morning and a two hour sleep in the afternoon

How Very Dare You. Ive never been so insulted. Who dear? me dear? take it easy dear? never. How very dare you.

Today I mostly did 10 miles (again) but in a bizarre twist I ran 2miles hard on the way out and two miles hard on the way back home.

Unsure of finding yet another different way of running 10miles I may not run but go on't bike instead tomorrow.
.

Well over in the USA in New Hampshire now. Not very inspiring running where I am just now. Found a local track last night and did 25 x 400 at a fairly brisk pace. Not my thing really but it had to be done.

Am I on the wrong site?:confused:
OK I did Belmont Village Winter Hill Race (and got to see my blurred image tearing past the camera) but I then did Keswick Half Marathon followed by a hilly 10 mile road training run on Monday but then back for 8 miles of off road hills on monday afternoon. I have a 5 mile road race on Wednesday.
Is that too many roads? 13:28, fell to road ratio. This is summer. I must have lost all sense of propriety.:o

9 miles over fields with my new walshs on
bone dry but its bucketing down now , ace :)

160.2 miles, 42,166 feet. Steady. Felt OK for parts, bit knackered for others. Good 'banking run' for future races this year.:D
