Poacher turned game-keeper
4 1/2 miles on flat roads. Intended as a gentle trot out but, as the roads follow exposed tops, found myself battling the gusts on the way back. Slowed me down by 2mins overall. Got back just in time - now it's pouring down.

From Rowlee bridge direct to Crookstone knoll (signed in at geocache) sunny but very windy down to spring and filled bottle before dropping to jaggersclough straight up the otherside to Nethermoor and across and down to YH Up lady Booth Brook to druids stone and along edge (this is where it first started hailing ouch!!) until I could take the 'Crossing' which was surprisingly dry round to seal edge the plan had been to go to Fairbrook but coming round the corner I could hardly stand up and I could see the thick cloud and rain sheeting down the valley towards me so I wimped out (sort of) decided not to run round rim but went direct to bottom of Blackden and straight up t'other side and up to mad womans(mans) stones and back to Crookstone racing the ever heavier rain.
By the time I'd driven home it was blue sky again
9 miles 3700ft not long enough
Just met Ginge Whinge in Windmill Nurseries caff. His missus and he looked a bit bedraggled - they'd just been out for 3 hours on pushbikes....By the time I'd driven home it was blue sky again
Just another gentle trot today
The fitness pool is slowly filling though, and the niggles receding into memories
Fitness pool?
Like a swimming pool Al, only different...
Yes Grasshopper,
You build up your reserves in the ‘fitness pool’ and then you take it out in the races.
The more you have stored in the said pool, the easier the races are
How do you fill this pool of reserves up........turn the tap on and leave it running for a while?Yes Grasshopper,

Races and hard training runs drain the pool
Easy running fills the pool
You need to put in more than you take out Grasshopper
