7 Miles over Derbyshire Level with Three miles at at Tempo Pace, nice morning for it :)
Just a 3.5 hour walk today including some sections of the Rivock Edge route, nice and muddy & a cold wind at times but stayed dry -just.
5.5 miles steady - first run for three weeks after suffering with bruised ribs...good to be back albeit a bit sore :)
5 mile XC race with the club. Did not intend to do this event, but enjoyed it at the end. A little 2 lapper with 600" up a couple of sloppy slopes. The walsh's went well.;)
No rain during the race, :) but then got soaked watching lads play footie:(
Wet, wild and wooly on dartmoor and that was just me!
Parked up at Peat Cott (for those familiar with) and got blown around for an hour and a half. Not as wet as the HMS Raleigh cadets I sailed past, though.
i went on dartmoor once in january with the marines i hated it but i think i would see it differantly if i went running there as a civvy now,do you know the area around ditsworthy warren house near the scout hut,some nice hills around thereQuote:

Hi Fleeter
I run that area a fair bit-park at the scout hut and up to shell top via ditsworthy.
Yeah, dartmoor can do crap better than most, but it has its good days. not today, though.
3hr walk Saturday and Crowborough Runners 10K yesterday in Sussex. 2mins 30 quicker than last year, so v pleased. That's it now 'til Round Rotherham 50 next weekend. Bring it on!!
2 wet & sloppy runs in the last 3 days with the leg stifness still there but gradually improving. Not many people out over Hambeldon this aft, well, none actually apart from me!
6.5 Miles in the Wind and Rain, hope its not like this on Sunday for the Stockport 10

Right Ian. You have made up my mind. I am going out with Glossopdale tonight. Couldn't decide all day as I've got a bit of lurgy I think. Might drag Grouse along too:D.
Done 9.5 mile on the roads after work tonight with Sinatra around Hough Green, Cronton and Farnworth.
BOGOF :DQuote:

Tell you what, if you can run today you can run in anything. Howling gales around here made running into the wind very very slow indeed. So glad I gave Tankey's a miss on Sunday - couldn't have been pleasant!
Nowt special, some 30mins on roads;) + usual bike commute!!
Feeling v lethargic after Gravy Pud race. Not as windy as Holmfirth!!
Nowt special, 7 miles on the road.
Has anyone done owt special today? :confused:
yes ran 5 miles with my lovely black and white sheepdog over the hillsQuote:

Well thanks Marg. I needed that like err... like something I really didn't need very much at all. :o :D
I did something special. Went to Glossop to see the Christmas Tree get lit. It was a service by Willow Wood which some local chavs decided to try and spoil. I even told one girl to piss off or I would bang her one!!!! Rude kids- I blame the parents.
I then went home and did 8 x 3 mins off 90 secs and 5 x 30 secs.
10 miles on the boring roads.
6 on canal bank in dark. Must be mad almost fell in:o
8 miles or so on the roads in what feels like a force 10 gale. Got blown off the pavement a couple o' times. Not a pleasant run at all what with the rain and all.
Got home and now see that our front windows are bulging in on account of the wind.... :eek:
45 mins at lunchtime in the snow and freezing cold - invigorating
Well Roadrunner, why don't you go and run on the really interesting roads then? :D
At least you had company!:rolleyes:Quote:
