7 mile 1200" over Windy hill. Watery sunshine on the Oldham side, thick fog on Huddersfield side, and a bloody cold breeze on both.
Enjoyed the peace and quite apart form running at side of M62 when I was smiling and thinking about all the people in the rat race and me pottering round the moor tops:)
7.17 miles around a very frozen Sutton Park at lunchtime. Beats crap road runs in the dark any day!
Set new course record as well.
Did you use to log this as 9 or even 10 miles :D ?Quote:

Bit like running on iron egg boxes in parts - ooouch!
Pity about that haze, it's been lurking about all week.
7 miles in Heaton Park, its a winter wonderland in there today. Blood level still low despite drinking lots of red pop.
Sitting at computer with running kit on - don't know if i can be arsed to get up and go training!
Go!!!Quote:

6.7 mile on the roads tonight. Finished with a bit of a tight calf.
4 miles on the road, first run after my cold felt terrible. fingers crossed for tommorrows longer run.
3rd day on the run no training, full of a cold, this is doin my head in !!!:mad:
25 mins of easy flattish mostly off-road running - calf still not great:(
I'd rest it for a few days if I were you Multiterrainer, though I'm no specialist on the matter. ;)Quote:

Stunning day, blue sky the odd wispy cloud in the valley. great company with a mix of dark peak and penistone runners- heaven
Sounds a lovely run that IanDP.
Down in Cornwall for Christmas. Did a 10 mile trail race (very muddy and pretty hilly). Chap called Tim Watson (Belgrave) won. I got 2nd (19secs down). Really enjoyable with warm mince pies and tea afterwards - bliss!
Merry Christmas y'all
and dont forget the ginger doggy !!Quote:

Yesterday I went for a 3 mile walk in my new orthotics.
Hopefully the first steps to fitness, and I'll be able to jog this time next week. :)
After a 3 week break due to a heavy cold and generally feeling like utter shite I ran for half an hour today. Felt ok but I need to get moving if I'm gonna make Box Hill come January.
Happy Xmas to one and all!!
Been feeling a bit off colour, so went for a steady 5 mile over the moors.
Struggled on the hills and HR was sky high.
41 on the bike this morning - a little damp & dreary out there, not very Christams like.
4.5 mile blast on the roads this afternoon in heavy rain.
sorry forgot about BillyQuote:
