A couple of hours around and about the Esk Valley
7 miles early this morning. Not a hill any where. finished, showered and breakfasted before the sun came up:D:w00t:
Took dog fo't walk.
8.8 miles of undulating Dorset farm land in a fine misty drizzle to keep me cool :)
Tucking into a lovely homemade sausage meat pie now - :thumbup:
Aw sore legs that just sounds so lovely, I just pictured it mentally for a minute and was transported miles from the gloom of London. Love that misty drizzle for running in. Cannot wait til my busy busy busy phase just takes a break long enough to escape.Quote:

7 miles of undulating track and footpath round Llyn Elsie and surrounding area, lovely sunshine here.
7.5 miles yesterday on the northern slopes of the Little Baddow Ridge. No, not a fell, but about as hilly as it gets in these parts. Very pleasant evening run with some fellow club members in pretty ideal conditions.
5.5m to work and the same home, back and knee still giving me gip but eased a bit after an hour's dog walking, should be right for Derby Tup's BG leg 4:thumbup:
45 mins of getting my arse thrashed around the squash court !! :angry:
That will be me being Mr Grumpy for the rest of today !
5.5 miles running paths and tracks, felt slow with achy ankles - but was faster than expected when I worked it out. the meditation must have helped :-)
Have not completed this for a while as the regular exercise I have been doing can't really be called training.
8th aug - 42 miles Xcross bike
9th - club duathlon
11- summer series Xcross race huddersfield
12 - 50 miles road cycle Leeds and back (via Ilkley) not as fast as I would like but felt strong, 5 mile gentle training run in the evening.
14 - 25 mile on fixed - tried to make it a blast but kept spinning out after taking of the 13 on the back and putting on a 17.
15 - Calder valley round 3.10. Got lost a couple of times and knackered at the end, when realised would not break 3 hrs took last 3 miles quite easy.

Run last night with a few club mates, and another this aft the dogs, both on Pendle, will try another tomorrow, make the most of the fells before back to flat country :)
Tried another one today, did the FTOP in 3.10, quite a way off my PB, but very tiring, which is what I was aiming for! :)
22 miles so far this week plus 10 hilly miles dog walking, most i've done in months. Looking forward to Sedburgh Hills on sunday, providing i don't fall over chasing the mutt again:rolleyes:
not even done that in my dreams !Quote:

Just been up on Pendle again this morning, for around 10 miles ish, with the usual culprits thrown in on the 2nd half of the FTOP :)
An easy 80 mins c 7mile/1600ft on Burley & Ilkley moors from the Moor Lane bends parking layby. Nice and quiet on the moors once I got to top of Ilkley Crag - so much so that a lone walker commented that I was the first person he'd seen for 2 hours as I headed past the old rifle range.
first run back after a month lay-off
11 miles on the Thames towpath, 1h30m
36 miles this week including Sedburgh Hills race, back in training at last.

Wednesday 9 miles 2400ft Moel Famau and Moel Arthur
Friday easy 6 miles
Saturday Langdale recce 14 miles 4000ft
48 miles and 7400ft
21m today on a recce of part of the Yorkshireman. After 3 days of almost complete rest my knees held up well. Ran with a cracking bunch, I'm really enjoying long slow runs chatting with others (not done it before).
another 7 mile in the dark this morning hot and rainy. best running weather so far.
Its a bit lean isn't it? Has anyone been out the past week?
I went out actually - From Aber to Beras and then round to Foel fras and Drum back to aber - 10 miles 0 2800 ish feet I think... run and walk though... hard work!
Managed 30mins or so in hotel gym. Treadmill, recumbent bicycling machine and stepper :o
Did the Pic de Canigou from Col de Jou the other day
5m up over Norland Moor with Gem the Dog, warm and sunny:)
Pete Bland bumbag full of poo bags:p
