30 miles for the week
25.5km with 780m (just under 16miles/2500), 2hr20 around Bilsdale and Urra Moor with The Reverend. Delightfully grey and drizzly and nearly twice as much climb than I would have guessed at.

After realising that I wasn't going to be fit and relinquishing my place for Langdale, felt better than expected today.
Jog-trotted up to Whelpstone Crag via Swaw Beck, Cocket Lane, Cocket Moss, Cross Hills, and Badger Hill. Have to say, the boggiest few miles I've ever run, sank to the waist a couple of times. Lot of old rusted farm machinery chucked in some of the inaccessible bogs, and a great tree or two.
Ran back a lot quicker, avoiding the massive bull in the Swaw Beck field.

Attachment 5210..and up at the crags.
Quick nip round old training route back home.
Back running ok since Three Shires battered me!
14 miles and 3150ft ascent, first half was great. I then promptly conked out and spent an interminable 6 miles either grimly persisting with the task at hand or fantasizing about jam donuts. I even weighed up the option of fighting a rambler for food but the only one I saw with any grub was eating Twiglets, and I hate them buggers. Twiglets, bleh!!! Never that hungry.
Still, rounded of a week totaling 44 miles with 11940ft ascent so targets have been met. Same goal for next week, I need to start paying attention to nutrition both on and off the run.

Two laps of village on the road in the rain. Four and a bit miles

8 miles from house to Winter Hill and back in driving wind and rain. About 1000 ft in ascent, 1.17 hrs.
