yesterday did Black Chew Head and Black Hill from Crowden all new ground for me about 10 mile round trip. Today new ground also went up onto moors above Mytholmroyd from Jerusalem Farm did just over 10 miles and some good climbing taking in sections of Calder Valley Way and a couple of trig point on Midgley Moor. two good days.
Another 5k on roads yesterday, almost finnished decorating the lounge can get back to some good running then.
Just over 6 miles up and down the Wessenden Valley with the headtorch blazing! 830 ft ups and downs in 56 mins. Cold wind though.
Got out round Kentmere Horseshoe this morning, very windy across top of nan bield but otherwise great. Oh. Apart from falling headfirst in bog mud coming off Kentmere Pike!
6 miles off road Saturday, 5 miles road tonight. First time I've run solely on the road for months. Thought I was going ok, but looking at my watch when I got back it was shockingly slow!
Tentative 3 miles on roads round Settle, seemed ok, will definitely be at Bolton by Bowland on Sunday.
am: 8.5 miles on the road. Afternoon. 4.5 miles on road. Eve: 3.5 miles steady pace.
Did a 36 miler Sunday legs were shot at the end though, good time for the 1st 26 and then was slower than a reversing robin reliant for the last 10 , still did it though so verry happy
Afraid to admit I got caught out by the weather today. I actually started shivering towards the end of my run, not a good sign. And before anybody pipes up, yes I had bum bag, spare top, hat, gloves, drink & food ! 10 miles over the moors from Saltaire to Burley-In-Wharfedale. I've never known such an evil combination of howling wind & driving rain. Got home & fell asleep in the bath. Hard as nails me.
Club run last night about 12k, good fast run, but cold
third trip up and around Cutgate in 36 hours Cold and bright with a sharp wind. Bumped in to Askern on the way down.

Glad to see you got back without any misshaps.
Two runs before 9 this morning: up at 5 for a 1.8mi round the (quite hilly - 220ft) block with the missus, then over to Pendle for a hill sesh with someone I know off Twitter. 7.57mi, 2,055 climb, 1:45:14, first two climbs with headtorch.

5k nice and easy, last of my easy runs, back into full training from Saturday
A short walk round the fields exploring with friends, after a night in!!
First very, very, gentle trot after 6 weeks off with a very painful SI joint and a bout of flu, really nice to get out and have the wind and rain in my face. Only had to walk one hill (to pass a horse ) albeit my running speed was not much quicker but at least I managed it and I'm hoping I am on the way back fingers crossed.
Zaf
Started to build up from today, have been just ticking over for last month because of decorating, so it was good to go out and do some hill reps.
Great day out with running pal up in the hills behind Whinlatter practising our (new) navigation skills. Found our way up and over Lords Seat, Broom hill, Kirk fell in an insane gale which we'd thought we'd have at our backs and where totally wrong!! Proper giggle-fest.
Don't normally post on this thread but just wanted to share - a run over Ilkley Moor from Silsden end, wet, windy cold and boggy. At last I almost feel like a fell runner again!
And now back to tiling the damn kitchen...
Great stuff p b :cool:Quote:

My toes have just thawed out !
10 and half miles from Woodhead back to Glossop over Bleaklow - proper snow until last descent off Glossop Low. 5 Glossopdale girlies and one dog! Great fun on a Sunday afternoon.
3miles on treadmill in hotel gym. Quite enjoyed it :o
6 * 500m reps, a bit wet and slippy, but still enjoyed it.
2 short runs today, before and after work. Couple of miles each, managed to head out into a bit of blizzard in shorts this evening.... couldn't turn back as the dog was extra keen for a run tonight (daft animal! It's freezing)
35mins swimming then out onto the freezing roads (it's all I got!) with damp hair for 11 miles, including a club 6 miler.
Been for a short run tonight with my dog, it seems to have forgotten saturday's 18 miler when it slept for hours after, daft animals but you've gotta love em.Quote:

12m to work and back, windy, hailstorms, sleet, rain, lovely.
Good run up on towards Grinha last night from Kingstree(road end at ladybowyer) no head torch needed on a clear cold night with a bright moon, ...Then the blizzard whipped in stinging our faces as we fell thigh deep in to snow filled groughs..
An early return to the pub to find some Pennine runners on a HPM raid/reccie in the pub carpark, being friendly Yorkshire folk we inviting them in to drink some yorkshire beer...Hmmm blonde
I was intending on heading over to Crowden tomorrow morning on a Trigger reccy can I expect to see a bit of snow? That will make things more difficult.Quote:

Head torch hardly needed. The moon was bright enough to cast a shadow.

Thanks (yet again) Ian for the weather report!Quote:

A wild and windy run along the Ure and round the wetlands with a couple detours to dodge floods. It was far better outside than it sounded from my living room. Exhilarating!:)
Another 12m to work and back, windier than yesterday!
40 crazy minutes at lunch time in the wind, rain and hail
some bits of (self-made) toffee and fudge.
A fair amount of chocolate cake.
A Toby Carvery.
Beer.
The Who.
a good rest day :D
I managed to get out at lunchtime for a little x country 5 miler 850' run during a break in the weather. It started hailstoning again just after I got back so my timing was spot on :D
