Hurrah and congrats and total, total, total envy LT.
May the arc of your training continue on its upward trajectory (is my spelling dodgy, or what!?)

An hour after dark up Hameldon and around (again!). Just me and the sheep and the cows and horses and other scuttling creatures and dark shadows.
28.4 miles of pretty mixed mainly off road terrain, normally I would have stayed off road but as my next ultra includes road sections I made a point of sticking 5 miles or so on the road in for good measure.
7 miles of maily flat trail... cough, splutter, eughh! Not run for weeks and it shows!
Warm up, National XC Relay (14.58), and bit of a session afterwards.
Bed now, drive to Keswick in the morning and Derwentwater 10.
6.62 miles on the XC/Trail route on Pex Hill today quite heavy going in places.
8.5 mile road run early this morning worked hard at keeping a good pace up.
2.5hrs Snoopys - Blackhill (Tanky reccy) - Crowden - Laddow - Blackhill - Snoopys....
Good to meet Mick from Denby Dale who was out on a Tanky reccy as well..
Cheers for the run...
9.1 miles 1500ft up the Hordron Road- little Don Valley-Skarratt Stone- Horse Stone- Crow Stones-Icelandic air craft crash site-Outer edge-Harden Clough-Hordron Clough.
Very cold-foggy/poor visibility and with a biting wind. perfect TT weather
2 mile warm up.
10 mile Derwentwater race.
Change of top and then the 10 mile race route in reverse.
1 mile from Keswick town centre back to school car park.
Total 23 miles about 2 hours 5 of running.
Thats my last trip to the lakes this year. Loved it apart from not toughing a hill or mountain. Very clear visability, sunny and a small amount of snow on the very tops. I bet the OMM organisers wished they were putting the event on this weekend instead of last!!! (Didn't see one BBC camera man!)
