Same here, no good lines spotted. I did see the a couple of short tracks that went in generally the right direction, but nothing that would give you an advantage over other runners (if I can find them again)Quote:

Bike ride with Mini-Merry now, i shall drop him on the hills:rolleyes:
A Garmin measured 3.48 miles on the undulating roads and canal bank around my house. 20 mins 16; 5.49min/mile :cool:
Have a look on K&C web Will for the mile time trial coming up soon. Guest runners welcome I think and a proper burn-up as it's mostly downhill ;):cool: Holmsie won last year in 4-10 iirc :eek:Quote:

I imagine the course record will be under threat unless there's lots of rain over the next few weeks - not by me ofcourse;)
8 miles 3100ft. Alternating hard miles and easy miles. Really good as 3 of my hard miles were constantly uphill
Sort of a gym session....a new fitness craze
running up and down stairs whilst lifting heavy boxes
or to put it in other words....moving house
back in the game this week
5.5 miles yesterday from Prescot back home to Cronton passsng through Blundells Hill along the way. Will have to make do with a late run today as carpet fitters are in fitting new carpets throughout the house.
Rock 'n' roll Pinno, rock 'n' roll.... :pQuote:

killer race tonight. cuts scratches and stings all over.
worked damn hard tonight that would have been a win most days but two stars turned up so only 3rd but still a cracking time.
Roughly 5.5 mile 1000’ ascent as said before waisted deep bracken etc etc
