Another 53 minutes this early evening about half of it a la head torch
Yesterday
Club run up Pendle. Interesting weather. Felt a bit knackered when we'd finished and batteries nearly died in my head torch so could only see my shadow most of the time. 80 mins
Today
Took some of the sixth form out mtbing. Didn't set a very good example when I nose dived at a bit of speed on a greasy lane near Flasby. Got a good graze on my thigh , bum, calf and arm. Smacked my head pretty hard too, very glad of a decent helmet. Bent my thumb back for good measure making gripping the grips pretty painful. Good ride; 3 hours.:)
Winced a bit as I got in the bath:eek:
Bashed out a relaxed 45mins, legs didn't feel as bad as I would have thought off the back of some really tough training in the last few days. Followed the run with the toughest circuit session we have done so far this winter, 3 x 20 on 20 off on each of the 16 stations!!!
...wait till the sheets/quilt stick to your grazes tonight mate...always a killer peeling them off....Quote:

short night run over eastern edge of kinder. Beautiful night with a clear moon.
Hour and a half round Bradley and Farnhill tonight. No need for head-torches as just the most beautiful night to be out. Inch perfect navigation from millipede! :D

Although the two pints of Landlord were the highlight.
That is the kind of moonlit night that makes you all calm and tranquil. Or is that the beer?

Do you think it would be a good omen if you bought it to renovate?
The soft moonlight made me tranquil - the beer made me cold, hence dashing off home ;) How's sunnysideup's ankle?Quote:

9 miles
just going to do four and a half miles after work tonight
6.5 miles down the canal and around the golf course and back at lunch time. Felt quite fit today - it must be those pounds I've lost :)
Oh and do K & C allow gate crashers on their wednesday evening jaunts?
Of course - there's probably an average of 6-8 of us every week. Suggest you drop me or Brett a pm if you're coming :) ;)Quote:

Good to have Manhar with us.
Nice meal and real ale by the fire in the pub afterwards.
Last night's track session, I opted for shorter faster option.
2 x 500m (90s rec)
600m, 400m (90s rec)
700m, 300m (90s rec)
4 x 200m (45s rec)

This week oi ave mainly been:
Sun - nowt.
Mon - Pilates with the ladies.
Tues - eye balls out spinning class.
Wed - run/bike brick. Mud fest 1 hour run followed by 1hr 30 bike with cafe on top.
Thurs - swim coaching session 1 hr. Club run? - couldn't be a*sed.
Fri- spinning class.
Tomorrow- 1 hour run with the hounds early doors.
5.8 miles of easy running :)
Swoop, if you are doing this in early December let me know. I will get some flags and tape for you to put out!!!Quote:

11 miles on roads and towpaths around napton on the hill . felt good and not a murmur from the plantar f .
50mins steady around home last night - this Friday evening road run's getting to be a bad habit :( Might have a little walk by the river later. Wensleydale Wedge tomorrow :)
2 1/2 hrs v. early this morning in the wettest conditions I've seen for many many months. Based around Holme Moss/Black Hill/Crowden area. All streams swollen and treacherous underfoot, took a tumble more than once and found crossing waterways, errrm, **interesting**. :eek:
Lashed it down for the entire time then (surprise, surprise) stopped raining when I got back to the car (thanks god!:mad:).
Still, all good practice for Tanky's.... ;)
Today's run took 2hrs 20 (12.65) miles out with Tryfan and Sinatra early this morning around Ashurst Beacon and Parbold Hill race routes with the Fairy Glen included as well. Some tough hill work today with a bit of everything thrown in for good measure. A lot of mud and heavy fields along the way. Good company with great scenery and an abundance of wildlife on route.
Had a quick 16mi trot out over Pendle today;)
Snap;)Quote:
