6m to work, 6m home, 4 days off now:w00t:
Hills and Guinness!
Superb in the Lakes today. Between night shifts so only managed my local 6 miler over Scout Scar but the views to the high fells were cracking.
Splendid Good Friday run out from Ilkley. 13miles or so with clubmates, including several forumites, over Beamsley Beacon and Round Hill. A great way to start the weekend! :thumbup:

Yeah, I enjoyed it too, DT. Right up until I pulled a muscle in my arse.
It probably needs a deep massage but strangely I've had no volunteers...
18.5mile 3 peaks route today (well two of) in 3 hrs with Pattinson and Jo (waites). Started from Horton and picked up the pennine way behind the Crown and joined on to the race route to Ribblehead, Whernside via old walkers path and Ingleborough before heading back via Sulber nick. Tired by the end but a pretty good session. Those two are bloody strong!

Re: Today's Training
Just got back from Rothiemurchus Lodge (Cairngorms). Beautiful drive up A1 and A9 on Sunday in sunshine and t-shirt weather. Walk around the forest with kids on Monday. Woke to lots of snow on Tuesday (sledging with kids). 6 mile run round and about Loch Morlich on Wednesday. Walked up to Cairngorm summit on Thursday in proper winter conditions, thigh deep drifts with significant windchill above 1000m. Eleven days earlier I was sat at The Lion Inn in North Yorks, in blazing sunshine, wearing just shorts and t-shirt, having butties and beer, having just completed the Blakey Blitz (11 miles/2800ft).
Two things strike me:
What a wonderfully diverse and unpredictable environment we are lucky enough to run and train in;
What a wonderfully diverse and unpredictable environment we may be unlucky to run and train in if we ain't fully prepared.
Post night shift planned trip to the Howgills foiled by poorly toddler but still managed a quick 6 miles with dog. Feel great but trying to stretch hamstrings and glutes with a two year old insistent on helping is not conducive to thorough stretching.
21 miles , 3000 feet on Mag7 from Heptonstall (but cut it short v the normal 27 mile route)
6ml steadilyy away along the Dales way, over to Haw Pike farm and back through the golf course
