Really muddy all the way and i really enjoyed it.
Didnt kill myself too hard so not to end up throwing up halfway round with my dodgy stomach problem and ended up just under 2 minutes slower than last year - but the ground was frozen then compared to sloppy mud this year, so i'll let myself off.:p
First time ive run in a month and by george it was good to get out and to get muddy again.
I noticed how much my body was taking a beating at times though, my ankles where shot to piece with the rough terrain. Its all this not running lark - it aint good for you.:D
Nice run out up Penyghent and then across to Ingleborough via Ribblehead and back to Horton.
I just wanted to see snow hehe, and there was some!
I reckon about 19miles.
Good stuff hursty! Looks like you've shook off that twisted kenn problem :)Quote:

Nevertheless, I'm just going to continue running at that pace for a while, rack up some miles, and put racing on the shelf for a while. Distance is my current goal.
You not running today?
Tanky's Trog (Marsden Edale) tomorrow ;)Quote:

Err...a walk around my usual trail run route past The Strid. Start at the ford after driving through it as fast as possible, then up the eastern side to Barden bridge before going back down the western side on the top path. Running's out at the moment so i'm a walker again :(
Just on the offchance was that a forumite running up towards the wooden bridge at around 3.00?
About 9.5 miles from home up to Ringinglow then over Burbage Moor to Burbage Bridge, Higgar Tor, Toads Mouth, Parson House, Houndkirk Road and back. Loads of water and gloop about.
Also several runners.........
Up at 4.30 this morning for a quick, hilly, road run. Followed this with week 1 day 1 of the Burpees (again:rolleyes:) and some weights. At work, started again with the Pull Ups.
Tonight the Press Ups and some ITB stretches.
Might step my weights up and hit the Cyclone in the New Year. Grr.:rolleyes:
4.30am!!Quote:

Going to have a bash at press-ups and sit-ups myself in abit.
When you gotta go, you gotta go! On the verge of making the facilities guys crumble and get a shower fitted at the office. This'll mean lunchtime/before work runs, and not getting up at silly times. Here's hopin'...
Must. Go. For. A. Run............... :(
Ne'er mind all the running nonsense OH! Are you practicing your dance moves and drinking plenty of Snecklifter ready for XOTF? ;)Quote:

As my leg strength comes back I might get a run or cycle on a couple of evenings or weekends:)
5 miles easy recovery run, a bit wet but ran with a spring in my step.
My Snecklifter drinking skills aren't up to much it has to be said DT :( I managed a half the other week but that's all. I will put Xmas songs on tonight and brush up on the boogie :cool:Quote:

My it was windy on NYM....I kept getting blown off the track.
So, today, I invented a new sport called Backwards Joggling! I have perfected the art of it! :D
Windy, raining, cloudy, bally freezing, jelly legs, grumpy! Did I enjoy it? No actually I didn't and could have cried when I got back to the carpark to see that my hubby was late to pick me up! :mad:
But anyhow.....as soon as I dipped myself into that hot bath it all seemed so much better....glad I went....need to do it more....my fitness is atrocious! :eek:
Still....a slow 10 miles/3200ft ascent
10ml/3000ft at any pace is a good session! Not that long ago you were doing 5k on the wretched treadmill ;)Quote:

Nice cloudless views today for a change!
Spam + Baked beans on toast when I got back, lovely ^_^
Yes that's very true DT.....don't know why I have to punish myself about how slow I am! Surely the fact that I got out there and did it is enough! :confused:Quote:

And...it means I've done 15 mile this week and it's only Tuesday! Wopp woop! ;)

I set off on my usual 4 miler across the muddy fields and my golly gosh i loved every minute of it.
I forced myself to slow right down and just totter round, took abit of getting used to but i stiwtched off from the fact that i was actually running and took it all in.
I ran through every patch of mud, every puddle and more of less just ran to get as muddy as i could. I even tried running on the slippy bits to fall over and get muddier but it was as if i had ropes on my keeping me up. - then when i stopped concentrating i fell over - accidently - and got covered from head to toe and i endedm up running all thw way home laughing to myself.
If anyone saw me they must have though i'd escaped from the local looney bin.
Carlsburg dont do training runs. but if they did...they'd be the best training run in the world.:D
LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVED IT!
I went for another headtorch run this evening, over the moors instead of along the canal. I probably went a bit slower than normal, but I got some hilly bits in, slipped about, tripped, and gashed my shin. I think I did about eight miles in total, and got home laughing my head off!
I'm filthy, the dog's filthy, but it was certainly exhilarating!!!
Started in daylight, ended in the dark, could just about see where I was going, last bit on road with streetlights a bit of a shock. Must remember to take headtorch when setting off at a quarter to four next time!
...a game of tennis.
It's as good as owt Al.Quote:
