Today's Training

[southernsoftie]

thanks merry!

how was it SS? not as bad as you thought?

No, not so bad. Warmer than it initially felt. Just under 4 miles, quite hilly, but all road. Trying to keep my feet as stable as possible while I pick the mileage up again.

Stopped half way round for a few exercises in a park (4x6 pull ups, 4x20 burpees).

Got home, did some weights in the garage. Just back in now: got my breakfast on the go (big bowl of sugar puffs, couple of slices of wholemeal toast + marmalade, couple of pain au chocolates) and the bath running

Got back late last night after returning from North East visiting my wife's relatives.
I did manage to escape for a couple of hours though and do part
of the Guisborough Moors fell race route (great fell race by the way - Apr 5).
I finished off with a very slippery ascent/descent of Roseberry Topping
(a hill not a dessert ) then crawled back to my car exhausted.

Got back to the relatives and fell asleep in the chair

Hi MG & Merry

I'm still a grumpy git with a chest infection, good to hear ewe two are out and about

Oh Nee Bother...sorry to hear you're still 'under the weather'!
It's been going on a while now eh...have you been to docs?...sounds like you may need some antibiotics to shift it!
Hope you're feeling better soon!
Are you doing Guis Moors Race this year....if I'm fit I'll come up and watch from Captain Cooks monument...after all...it is the place where we met! ...bit close to my due date tho....so we'll have to wait n see....

Sorry to post after you mate, i've done 4 miles before and felt crap, you'll soon be back to your best

30.14 miles/4731ft in 6 hours 28 mins. Water Stalls road, near Crow Hill farm was fun, broke the ice with my weight and ended up thigh deep in icy water. From then on it became misty and finding my way over Rishworth Moor to Green Withins res was a bit of an adventure. Visibilty down to 20 yards and ended up in bogland big style. Once back down to Booth Wood res it was plain sailing apart from getting within a mile of home and finding i'd only clocked 25 miles. Forced to do a loop over Norland Moor to add another 5 miles. Finished with a dip in the river whilst eating my last mini pork and pickle pie, and i had 2 marmite teacakes on the way round as well (Just for Al Fowler)

Bloody good run but glad to back home and heading for the bath

Hey Merrylegs,

Seems you are making great progress for the running year ahead!
Well done you!...and finishing in great ML style too with the pork pie in hand!

Yo Goatee, went to doc's last week and now on antirobotics, hopefully on the mend soon

Hadn't planned on Giz Moors (or owt else to be honest) but.... if i can start running in the next week i may give it a whirl.
