32 miles bike and a 4 mile off road run - with any luck I'll be fit for Fairfield.
Up in the Lakes for the weekend - did Coniston race on Saturday in virtually the same time I did on my first time 22 yrs ago. Hope I can do the same time in another 20 yrs when I'll be 70!!!
Today was just one of those good to be alive days when I did a circuit of Dow Crag and Coniston from Torver on a morning without a cloud in the sky. Saw lots of other runners doing their own thing - and also got a chance to do a proper recce of the Lakeland Fair descent from the top of the Old Man back to Torver - found the trod all the way - Brill!!!!!!!
With any luck i'll see you there, mate:)Quote:

Just out for 30mins or so to stretch the legs.... Bit of a shock all this fine weather - hard to believe! :p
5 miles off road, first run where i have felt good and enjoyed it since London, hope i can push on now :)
12 miles around Derwent valley taking in about 2,000ft of climbing.
Glorious running in shorts and vest, didn't see any one until I got back to the Valley.
Just by Margary Hill a shadow past so close I ducked, looked up and there was a Buzzard hovering about 15ft above my head on the thermals coming over the edge. I don't know whether he thought I wasn't long for this world or he was hoping I'd spook a grouse? Either way it was impressive.
Lucky devil! :(
You're a bit big to carry off though, no matter how big the buzzard.....
1 hour running:)
The Gribdale Gallop route 7.5 mile 1340ft. Was a hot one!
Wasn't feeling particularly good as still suffering post nightshift tiredness and very low motivation. But forced myself out, not wanting to miss the wonderful sunny day. :) Felt even worse when I was overtaken by someone carrying a bike up Roseberry Topping! :o Think I should change my name to Mountain Tortoise! :( Hey ho! :rolleyes:
Lovely weekends running whilst away. Stopped on Hadrian's Wall on way to Sunderland on Saturday and did 5 miles east from from Walltown and then back again, a lovely run with lots of short sharp inclines and nice weather. Then Sunday was a hilly 8 in Sunderland at mara pace, again feeling easy. Finally yesterday did 5 straight after driving back up north, I felt heavy and the dog vommited so no fun all round. Easing off now.
coniston race saturday followed by many beers,sunday rest and more beer,and yesterday a good 8 hours of climbing in the slate quarries in llanberis,lovley weather,took about 4 hours to get up the M56 to stockport though on the way back,bad traffic,been knackerd all day today
Hills in Sun'lan:eek: Haway man yer having a laugh:DQuote:

1st evening club summer run tonight from Hurst Green, 75 minutes through fields and woods on a lovely warm evening. 2 groups, probably about 40 runners in all, maybe swelled due to the subsidised food in the pub after.
Just under 7 mile on the roads tonight and ended up with a slight calf strain when nearly home. Will have to rest a couple of days now. Thats Mobberley out tomorrow.
Club run over winter hill from the carpark at the top of tockholes road about 8.5 miles. The view from winter hill was magical as we were descending, the sun was hitting anglezarke resr. turning it into a golden mirror.:D
4.77miles, 1181ft off road to work, cracking weather, ran in only shorts, tuna salad sandwich did not enjoy the trip in my bumbag but got ate anyway. Had my break at 6pm, outside with feet in river, bloody marvellous:cool:
Sorry I wasn't specific, that was an undulating 8 mile road run through Sunderland, starting at Barnes Park and running through the parks, up Sand Hill, along Fox Cover lane towards Herrington and back. Its not as hilly as round here but I used to call it hilly when I lived there.Quote:

37 mile on road bike, picking up a friend on the way, very warm over Dewsbury way. Nice warm up for the Flower Scar tonight;)
just 4 miles at lunchtime today...knees are very sore
25 miles on the new bike , underlating and averaged 17.5 , went at 9.30 am and it was hot !!
12 miles. Cod Beck Reservoir to Lordstones (first checkpoint of Lyke Wake Race)and back. Another glorious day. Phew :)
Was jealous seeing so many people sat by the stream having picnics while I came back sweating like a fat goat! :D
Cheers Jason, we were up that route last Wed nite,Quote:

Nice easy 9 along the flattest part of the West Highland Way.
Hard packed track starting outside the house. Straight after work, sunny and lots of gates so made me take it slow.
Quite enjoyable really, but starting to get nervous already, what if I forget how to run with all this tapering stuff? :confused:
Jason.
1h 15mins easy fell run with chums. Started just about Meltham and over to West Nab taking in two trig points. Back at the car at dusk. Nice return to it after 3 days off....:)
1 hour 45 minute run up Ingleborough from Clapham with my (new) chums at Settle Harriers. Chuffing brilliant, especially being on the summit at about 8 pm with the sun just going down.
Sorry I wasn't there, had to make do with a 7 miler on Brighton seafront. Nearly expired in the heat more than once, be glad to get back up north later today.Quote:

All part of the fun though.Quote:

I'm out tonight Steve but can't handle the drudge of climbing up Parkin clough - 5 times:eek: .Quote:
