well done yesterday....by the way
Yesterday 7 miles on fells-Bleasdale Race + 2miles warm-up. Was planning on a few miles after race but felt knacked at end so had pies and peas instead:D
Today 9 miles on country lanes- took several miles for legs to loosen and get caught in the only spell of rain we had today.
12m/2015ft 2hrs 26mins. Planned on doing 18m but set off later than i wanted too. Recce'd part of a 30 mile LDW (It's called to Ell and back:eek:) i've entered next sunday, yesterday's Noon Stone and last nights Strongbow were still in my legs:rolleyes:
You look like your giving it some in your avatar merry.;)Quote:

Carrying the heavy b*stards to the van and then to the machine to be cut, and then carting them into the log shed has trashed my knees.:(
Its the finish line Al and i can smell the chip butties and Guinness;)Quote:

Lovely run out this morning from Bolton Bridge to Cav Pav then up through Bolton Park Farm and on to High Park / South Nab. I think this is similar to what FITC (mod not book) recommended earlier in the year and if I'm right thank you as it's a really nice route. Wonder if there's any chance of a sunset up there on a clear night? ;):)
about 10k's and exactly 4 cans
well done Ian..and everybody elseQuote:

did three peaks thursday. crap weather on PYG and ingle, did it in six and a half hours
Saturday 13 miles around bowland nice gently trot
10km today, down to 47 minutes:)
4 miles on the road,felt like a right mess
Glad you enjoyed it. Which way did you come back? Same way? Valley of Desolation? Storiths Crag?Quote:

Came back same way :) I've got map out and a clockwise loop back above Brown Hill then by Noska Head and Miry Pant looks good (what great names). I live in Addingham and run or walk up the Beacon most weeks. Fave route is probably up the ginnel and back the way the BOFRA race goes up ;)Quote:

5 mile off road to work in rain and a river dip, felt good:confused:
3.7 miles round liile citadelle park - very flat
1 sloppy hour up Hamelden and thereabouts. Bit of a dusting of snow last night but no build up, even on the tops. Feel a little looser now than before I set off, had to give myself a good talking to to get out.
7 miles this morning, bloody cold:(
An excellent session on the track at the velodrome :) Pb-ed on the 500m TT and managed to end up mid-field in the 40 lap points race... with the guys that I could never keep up with a couple of months ago, so I must be getting faster :D
Shortly will be going for a trot in my new X-Talons :D:D
I have to tie myself to a chair and administer wet sponge/electric shock treatment to get myself out sometimes:eek::DQuote:
