So by the time I got back, only had time for 1/2 hour - but it felt good. NOT like Lads Leap on Sunday.
u have to be through them by 6.00am as i will be in the morninQuote:

Planning on 4.5 at 7 min miles this afternoon then thats it till sundays trip round the bike smoke!:eek:
In London now. A very slow run (8min/mile) (ive just got a Garmin) along by the Thames.
I actually cried this morning at the though of going out for a run :o
Then I pulled myself together and went out for about 6 miles I think :confused: with 3 big hills thrown in the middle. Oh I am a silly billy sometimes :D
Didn't you feel better for going in the end thou?;)

As I promised myself after yesterday, 10 miles today - didn't get on to the moors so ran from home again but spent less time on the valley bottom path and more time on the hill climbs and descents from/to the bottom - the worse bit was running past the beer garden of the Bankhouse Inn:(. that said a v enjoyable run -even had a minute of rain:)
I've had a minute of rain down here as well! Almost thought the gardening was have to be put on hold!
No running, just done 2 hours weeding instead. I think I need to give up and just buy a new lawn!
12.5 miles in hills, felt strong, taking it easy now until Sunday
Walked the dog. No more training now, just winding down. I'm cooked.

Hour in the gym this morning mainly stabilisation work - pooly ligament feeling it but the stabilisation is helping, then did 20 minutes of stretching - feeling much better now!
Off for a run this evening - have a window of opportunity for an hour out whilst no.1 son is at cubs:)
Take it easy Emma. Be careful with the ligament. I'm knackered after two races but injury free.Quote:

Probably take a day off today. It's raining anyway!
Aye, day off for me as well today Swoop.
13ish miles and 5500ft yesterday in about 2.45 over the Mynd.
Today? Knees sore, no muscle soreness though. Mind you, not much energy either....got tired halfway up the stairs:p
Think I'll go and get myself a doughnut :D
Yes but were they the right stairs?:o My new avatar is the lead up to the lapse in concentration!Quote:

I might have got ahead on the climb up Robinson. I was on my own for a long time on "Chris's route" but, having seen the photos of the procession on the traditional route, I'm glad I did it. If I'd stuck to my guns and gone at least another 150m in the "wrong" direction (towards Honister) coming off Dale Head I reckon I would have saved another minute or two! I'll keep that for next year.:)Quote:
