six miles this morning, finding running a big effort at the minute, not sure why, but legs just feel like lead for the first two or three miles :confused: :(
Track work this evening for me. 10k at a steady pace considerin its warm and humid.
Couple of observations about facilities and Fatness over here
Facilities: Most schools have tracks, the one I was on tonight was olympic standard and absolutely open to anyone who wanted to use it. Dont really get that in the UK
Fatness: Now this is true - honest. Some people over here use athletic tracks to walk. Yes walk. There was a fat woman tonight with her daughter walking around the track both wearing ipods!! She had an arse as wide as a track lane - again no lie. They did 4 laps and got back in the car. I was shaking my head every time I passed em. How the hell does she hope to shrink that butt with so called "exercise" like that?
Only in the USA
I suppose it's a start though, isn't it? That's a lot more exercise than a lot of people in the country where the automobile rules supreme, and it's got to be cheaper than one of those gastric bypass operations. ;)Quote:

6 mile steady for me today. Nice and hot but very windy as well. Off to pick Tomas up now and travel to Graburn race ready for tomorrow.
Aso had the pleasure of timing an 800m runner today on his last 500m rep. He ran 61 seconds for 500m! When I was calling times out I was wondering if my watch was bust!
16 and a bit miles up and down and around kinder
Knackering..:eek::eek::eek:

Blencathra fellrace. 8 mile. 22nd in 1:16:25. Would have been appx 15th and two mins faster if i was even halfway decent at running downhill.

Followed by the race itself at 7.30pm in 43.58! Over a minute faster than last year.
I have done no training this week, I don't know why, but i really can't be arsed. Anyone else have a loss of motivation form time to time.

You should probably run, you'll enjoy.
I've got a weekend in the lakes coming up so hopefully that might do the trick.

Either way, running or watching, i'll see you all there later.
Back to the Lakes again today, tonight I did the 10mile time trial.
Perhaps most reading this won't know about average cycling speed but at 24.9mph I am very happy as this was the first race i'd done this season.
And tomorrow I'm working in Glenridding all day so it would be rude not to pop along a ridge or two. I'm thinking Patterdale -St Sunday- fairfield- dollywagon- helvelyn.
