10.05 miles, 2,686 feet, 3 hours 30 minutes: Rothay Bridge - Roman Ruins - Borrans Park - Stagshaw Gardens - Champion Tree Trail - Blue Hill Woods - Blue Hill Lane - race route ascent to Wansfell Pike - race route descent to the kissing gate - out to Grove Barn Cafe, now closed as not enough business - down past Force Cafe, very much alive - Ambleside. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 500 feet. More or less constant drizzle. That cold breeze from the south persists. Terrain wet/saturated/slippery. Not many walkers on the fell; 4 runners seen.

For the first time in ages - years - I did some drills and short intervals in Borrans Park. Intervals: 2 miles worth at about 20 to the mile; recovery: until my breathing was starting to settle. I must do them regularly.
