Loop around the reservoirs from the Yorkshire Bridge.. around the back of ladybower, up past hagg farm, down to derwent, up to slippery stones and back to the YB.. 18.75 miles.. averaged 7:10 ish.. sub 7 for most of the last half.. so nice run.. actually a pleasant weather day in the peak..
Me, Andy F, Martin and Graham did a 13 mile trail run today in the Ae Forest, we ran round the "red route" of the mountain bike course, plenty of ups and downs and it never stopped raining for a minute, no real needed a shower once home mind.:p

7.3mile swim on the local hillside today.
8.2 miles steady run from the door. Mostly trail through woods. Wonderful night, warm, clear sky and not a soul out! Originally planned a longer route and catching a bus home from Fox House... however I wasn't going to make the bus so cut short at Houndkirk road. 88 mins out only picked up pace last mile or so.
Happy with that for a Sunday evening
Impromptu 10 miles over Ilkley Moors as the sister-in-law came round with the children ! Foggy, boggy, deserted, excellence ! She was leaving just as I got back !
9 miles on the tops around Capple stone gate & Mossdale, did not see anyone at all. Now ready for my xmas dinner:thumbup:
Half Marathon today, even had some sun out
A turkey fuelled trot up black hill and back after lunch. Still some snow in the cloughs.
8 miles on Pendle- fine when drizzle was on our backs, not so great when we turned round at the trig!
Steady 5 miler with the dogs after dinner with my Santa hat on, well it is Christmas:wink:.

is on the Christmas Day Running thread...as is yesterday's obviously...http://forum.fellrunner.org.uk/showt...492#post518492 :thumbup:
A steady 7 miler from Ambleside up to Red Screes and back. Miserable, cold, wet and windy on the tops with patches of snow and ice. Thawed out with a pint in the Golden Rule - great pub!
Set out this morning and had a great 2 hours around, up and down the burbage end of the dark peak.
Burbage moor was freeezing cold running through icy bog trods
A lovely run out 'up the dale' today with Yiannis and Stef today. Starbotton - Arncliffe - Kettlewell - Great Whernside (via Providence Pot) - Kettlewell - Starbotton :thumbup:
Various short runs (2 miles or a bit less - dog's getting a bit old for much more) over Christmas, turns out that running in mud in Evoskins is a tad slippy!
Gentleish 11km on the roads tonight, nipping round to a mate's house to deliver presents which had had the tags removed by an over-enthusiastic 2 year old. Hoping to get out on the hills tomorrow, and maybe even a pre-breakfast run on Saturday.
I had a run round the Edenfield fell race course this morning. Very windy/rainy and the clag was down on the tops. I spotted a few flags on the ascent of Cowpe Lowe presumably from the Whinberry Naze race?
Todays training was a slog.
5th week into an increased training load and very much looking forward to next weeks rest week. So far have notched up 257 miles and 46000ft, and loving every minute of it.
Bring on 2013
12km over the fells, near and across Stanage edge this afternoon. Plenty of rough stuff, main point of the trip was to try out my new thumb compass. Claggy drizzle made for perfect compass testing conditions! Think I'm getting the hang of it, after a bit of faffing about did a 2.4km leg (straight line from the "haunted house" near Redmires to High Neb trig for locals) and only missed it by about 50m.
Managed to turn my knee playing with my son once I got home... Dangerous places these warm dry living rooms!
9 miles up n down cutgate. High winds made it hard work. Worth it though. 1 hr 40
Hilly run out today, still a slog but that's the weekly climbing finished.
An easy run out tomo, only after 3.5miles.
8 miles xcountry & road this afternoon. Saw Jonathan Brownlee out on his bike going through Burnsall :thumbup:
4 miles up Cut Gate, post Norovirus. Nice. The weather was a bit sporty. Accompanied by Big Bob who has shed three stone since summer.
Sneaked out from inlaws in Hurst (Ashton-under-Lyne) this afternoon with girls left playing parlour games with their cousins.
1.5 hr run up Lily Lanes to Hartshead Pike, over hill towards Quickedge and back again via Hartshead Trig (308) and the big Cross.
Hardly saw a soul again at the tops and whilst off roads over fields. Made me wonder if I should have invested in some retail-company shares before Xmas?
The same bob whos a fine artiste?! Or were there two Bobs up there today!Quote:

Have not run Burbage for 18 years. However. It is fine running.
.
Managed a slow plod near there today. I had to get out as I was getting stir crazy. Joined 20 DPers on the Bradfield Boundary run from Langsett to the John Taylor plaque on Howden. they continued were as I turned back and returned to Langsett via Mickledon Pond then returned dome cutgate. as you say a little moist...Quote:

Bradfield boundary run looked a little epic!
Kinder is showing winds up to 76mph tomorrow! That should blow you into 2013. Will be an epic tale to tell. That speed of wind would pick me up and drop me on my bum. :w00t:Quote:

No, I'm opting for the slight breeze day of 50mph winds on Monday :-). Doing part of Tigger Tor Fell Race route (Houndkirk Hill). Still can't find the bloody line off!! Winnie is rubbish at route finding so it's down to me :confused: going to start at Ringlow and head over Burbage edge first. Should get us a couple of hours fun :thumbup:Quote:

Long drive to Sheffield today cuts short any chance of a decent run.
Eight miles and 1440 feet of ups and downs. A nice trot up and around the Wessenden valley. The sheep know some harsh weather is coming, they are all nibbling feed blocks in big groups as they always do before a storm or cold.
All on road: 12 miles in 1.36; 1,160 ft of up/down - 4 hills, 6 times each one. It is what we have to do in Suffolk!
Bloody weather forecast was wrong for here any way:thunbdown:, I did 15 miles, 3700 ft of climbing with rucksack, I wanted to go further but my mates had had enough.:o

9 miles + in Middle Earth. (Castleton - MamTor and along to Lose hill, down and around, backtracked then along Win hill, down into Hope)
Bussed it to Castleton, bus back from hope area. Ran just over a mile back to the house.
Wind was so strong today it felt like a real slog. Saw one other chap enjoying a run.
Good session:)
6.4 miles off-road (and largely sub-aquatic) with forumites and club-mates completed a run every day in December for me and Stef. Quality home-made pies afterwards provided by the Weedens too :thumbup:
Well done DT on running everyday!Quote:
