Wasn't too bad up top Phil. Me and Fleeter headed upto pots n pans, across to alderman, down to the dam wall and through the quarries back to mine for a brew. Alderman descent was slippy but other than that it's alright

3m snotty jog with dog, nice to get out but feel like an aborigines armpit!
I went for a wobble round the lake today :o Need to shift this Christmas podge!
The journey of a 1000 miles starts with a single step although it is hard to believe that even with an excessive Christmas you could match my level of podgeQuote:

Felt surprisingly ok after 4 days of excess.
I think FRA rules state that 2000 ft of climbing at this time of year means it is compulsory for a fell runner to retire to the pub until New Year
Christmas 8m off road with the club round the boundaries of Horsforth, around 1200ft of climb. Nice steady run with pie, peas and cake afterwards :p
Al'reet mate, good to see you and Fleeter are getting out there, nice one. Today a plantation, Wimberry (ascent/descent), Charnel Clough ascent, Foxstone, descent to bridge and back through Plantation home for a nice cold beer...Odd going underfoot up top today, slush, snow, pure ice, mud, frosted peat - interesting going - good fun descending from Foxstone - slip, slidin' away :wink:Quote:

Full Moon Addict's Winter Rigby account has inspired me to consider some training before the pub.
Crackin' Boss, gave us an early dart today, got in another daylight run....Greenfield, Binn Green, Ashway, direct ascent to Dovestones Edge, Foxstone, back via Intake Lane - good outing :D
6 hilly miles but desperatly slow on the climbs. I really need a fast run just to pick up my spirits
Just nipped round the Full Tour with one of the pups. Was very interesting in the ice and slush, especially on Geranimo in my smooth X-Talons! :)
Nevertheless, I nice temperature for running, around 5 degrees I made it, no wind. :)
2 hours over Musberry heights around the Rossendale way, over Tor hill etc. Ground still frozen and very icy in places. Great!
9.75 miles from White Wells around Ilkley Moor. Very icey & slippy in places. My brother-in-law was fine in his home-made Orocs ! Got stopped near Keighley Gate by some walkers out looking for John Durkin, a local man, who has been missing for 2 days:

Fingers crossed for him.
Hope he turns up safe.
3m sorry excuse for a run, felt terrible, hope i can get fit by late January for the Hebden.
Yes hope they find the chap.Quote:

It's 3 mile more than I've done! I'm sure you'll be fine for the Hebden. At least you've had the guts to enter! I'm in hiding!!! :o
Did they say whereabouts they were looking Jez? I'm thinking I'll bob up tomorrow for a run and see if I can see anything. Hope he turns up okQuote:

I'll take a look anyhow and see if anything turns up. Always a shame to hear when people are missing.
4mile / c 800ft social run out last night from the White Lion, Kildwick. Stef, Hamertime and me were ably led by Antisocial, who was on good form :cool:
5 X 75 sec and then 2 X 5 min hill repeats.
In the rain. Really enjoyed them :confused:
12.2 miles social run round Mersea Island, partly on the beach but mostly on the sea wall. Total climb therefore about 20 m - i.e. on and off the sea wall four or five times. Visibility in fog 50 - 100 m at start (10.20), slightly more at finish (12.20).
Did 6m or so this morning and had a look round, didn't see anything, took a survival bag and such just in case but the clag was down so could've been within 20ft and still missed him. Tried a few of the more remote sections, a few isolated becks, and some of the crags but no sign. Hopefully he's not up there and is in fact somewhere safe.Quote:

Doing well for daylight runs this past week - just back from Dovestones Edge, Foxstone, Plantation run....
Not much faster but certainly a bit stronger, 8 miles with 4 climbs (1200ft) An extended hilly road from the day before, Cloud inversions in all the valleys, wowQuote:

Whittle Pike Fell race route, then out and around the fells. Tough!!
4 miles and c. 800 feet on Hadleigh Downs. A very low key race. Marvellous way to end the year.
Might not be related but they have found a man's body in the canal at East Morton (which is just on the edge of the moor) so I suspect this may be the guy. Sad end to the year for the family.Quote:

Man flu has stopped me from training for 2 days now. Managed 1429.5 miles in 2010. Should imagine I'll be pretty similar again next year. Doing the usual long ones at the start of the year. Then planning on taking my 10 year old son to as many of the BOFRA races as possible.
5 miles done last night, middle 3 at sub 6 min/mile pace (on the roads though). Tough workout, legs were pumped afterwards.
Jez - Looks like it was him Here
a single hill rep from a party home, all the way up hill, 3 hour warm up dancing. then 1k 400ft climb.
Did this year's Suffolk County Champs XC route in Ickworth Park - 7+ miles - a bit dull compared to a fell/peak route but still rough underfoot in places and nearly 600ft of up in total.
Up top in The Chew - great stuff :D
95 minutes up and around Musberry heights, plenty of steady climbs - a great hangover cure!!
9 miles with the headtorch last night.
Barley - Big End - Scout Cairn - Spence Moor - Deerstones - Fell wood - Barley.
All nice and sludgy now most of the snows gone!
85 minutes of quick running along part of the Rossendale way above and around Grane rd reservoirs, included quite a few hill reps. Very icy in places.
Moz's birthday race, with others. Desperately slow and even with a little wandering over the top of Kinder. Not sure of my time as it was bad. 2.30 possibly. With GlenBorrell, Grimmer, GreenFlash, Tall Paul and a few others
12 miles. 3000ft
10m cross country from Horsforth up to Otley Chevin top and back (1500ft climb). Great run, tested my new inov waist pack (not that I needed it today) and found it to be excellent if a little pricey. Also saw 6 Deer whilst out, 3 near Chevin lodge and another different 3 in the narrow strip of woodland that joins Gill Plantation off Dean Lane. Amazing, I've only ever seen the odd one before now so to see 6 in one run made my day.
