couldnt make wormstones so went for a hilly 7 mile run instead
got my 43 min run down to 39 mins today :eek: :confused:
not sure how it happened, unless my watch was broke??
14 miles, 3500' with a 5.5 mile fell race in the middle. Just got home before dark - lovely!
harrock hill 5 mile race last night 4th in the series beat my time by a minute and a bit:eek:
- god knows how felt like crap all the way round but there is photographic evidence that i wasn't talking!!!:rolleyes:
pleased though cos beat the woman who gave my a nasty elbow in a sensitive area:mad: no way was she getiing to the line first!!:D
:D Go Emmi!
50 steady miles (cycle) on quite lanes in the ribble valley in the warm August sunshine. Ice cream stop at Slaidburn and got home just as it seems to be clouding over. Might have a snooze now............
5 mile this morning with sore knees.
10 mile just then on lads leap route. Very nice day.
6 miles over the fields. Had to stop and hack the nettles down with a stick to get through! Then swallowed a fly and threw up. Not the greatest training run ever...
no but amusing!!;)Quote:

I suppose road running can have its up sides..........
ooo don't scratch leave it alone!Quote:

Got fed up with running in the end.
Sat at Darwen tower and watched the sun go down over the isle of man with a guy from my club.
It was like a scene from Brokeback Mountiain
ha ha - very funny J!! nice oneQuote:

Yeah Grisedale next, very excited. Having a camping trip and a few beers on Saturday night. Its now turned into a club thing so should be a good laugh.
Hope the mad woman from Borrowdale can make it. She was eating Petes dinner you know.
I have a cracking photo of it!! did you get the other photo's i sent??Quote:

Well Im not even gonna try to put that into words
You cant say that about Darwen Tower:eek:
Thats what we where sat on
I said it was like a scene Brokeback Mountain, not that we re-enacted it.
10 miler on the roads again tonight felt a lot stronger tonight. I run better in the evening than early in the morning.
Club fell run in the Goyt Valley. Lovely evening, great views.
The sunset as we drove to the Shady Oak for our meal was fabulous!
swimming this morning - 7am had the whole pool to myself:D
7 miles last night, very enjoyable ...... although the dog was a pain, wasn't interested in sheep .... just their poo! :rolleyes:
I think thats quite common, they like to eat and roll in it.Quote:

Me no training this week been full of a cold.
Yesterday was 5 miles paths round the park. Used it as a speed session doing 3 x 1 mile reps plus some hill reps. BORING!
Not getting properly out and about running until Monday now as I have a busy party weekend is ahead of me!! :cool: :)
last night out with pennine club and miss muddy paws
recognised some of the kinder downfall route but none after that
deep heather as well
been looking for a bottle this morning to put the views in
fantastic
cheers guys for making me welcome
geoff b stayed at the pub and didnt run:eek: ( sommert about bad toe nails:) )
nice pint in the pub after then checked on the night shift at work at 11.30
they was doing nowt as usual
Cheeky little 5 miler at l.15pm today around Pex hill, Rainhill Stoops and the lanes around Cronton and Rainhill. Didn't feel to bad considering did 10 miler late last night.
Pleasant 5.5 road/trail run. It took the athletics on TV to get me motivated today. Training must be paying off as the wife has started commenting on my rib cage/baggy jeans, etc.
12 mile run with 5 x 5mins off 2 mins jog in it. Did 5 x 30 secs hard after the session. Nice afternoon for running.
21 miles with 1000' ascent.
Bike....
