Missed out on a long run yesterday because of work, but went out in the evening. Had a debilitating bout of CBA which curtailed the distance to about 5k, but I did manage to force myself to fartlek the last mile hard.
Owing to a lower back injury last week and not wanting to lose fitness as I cant run without pain I hit the pool tonight and swam as hard as I could for an hour. Really enjoyed it and my back feels slightly better, which may be all in my mind too I grant you but better than sitting around waiting and me moaning.
11.8km on the roads with BMHH. Ate a bit too close to running and had to dive into a hospital to use the facilities. By the time I'd got out the rest of the group had disappeared, thankfully we were at one of the few places in the area I know so I made it back unscathed. Legs and lower back aching from yesterday's Orienteering (for Orienteering see being hunched up under branches).
Fell run tomorrow

Three damp miles in the morning followed by six soggy miles tonight, both with the pup. Legs felt tired after Windgather and the Mersey was nearly bursting its banks near Northenden. Looks like my usual routes will be out of action if it carries on raining....
A killer hilly race, the second in the winter monday series and a second thrashing by a whippet from Penistone in the pouring rain.
Pretty much flat out for 7.43 miles 1255ft climb took 52.23, nearly collapsed at the finish which is at the top of the 3rd hill
The staggered start work wonderfully as I caught up with the earlier starters on the last climb giving me runners to chase.
Greenflash had a good run as did Nicky, Straggler was there but pulled up with an injury(hope it gets better soon)
10 * 500m reps in pouring rain, hard work

5 x 150ft hill-reps on the Beacon. Didn't take headtorch but just got home okay
Poacher turned game-keeper
14km (330m) Headtorcher with Esk Valley above Guisborough. Today we scared a (young?) car-bound couple who were in flagrante.

6 miles on the beach and dunes, dark last mile or so. Dune running is SO much fun, feel like a commando lol
