Lovin' it! 11 miles (or there abouts) at a plod, but what an amazing blue skies day, bit of snow on the Malverns to make it feel like winter lots of tricky icy bits that the 285's seemed to enjoy handling - one tiny slip as I bombed passed some walkers and that was it. You simply can't beat days like these.
A 3.5m march around Fewston to check how my knee was after XOTF, all good touch wood.
Had a delightful encounter with a little Robin, it seemed tame as it sat on the wall a couple of yards away as i passed it, so i stopped and it followed me down and landed right in front of me. It assessed me for a bit then took to the air and hovered in front of my face about 1/2" from the end of my nose before resuming it's position on the wall. I extended my arm and made a perch with my finger, it thought for a bit then twice in succession landed on my finger for a second, pecked at it and flew back. It must be used to being fed by walkers as i don't think it would be bold enough to try and threaten a person like that, never come accross such a tame Robin before.
Got back home from Lakes in time for a run up Beamsley Beacon with Stef in brilliant snowy conditions. 5ml/1000ft and great way to round off the weekend

Twas indeed, i'd go there again, we were away for 9.30, good job really took us nearly 5 hours to get home, great weekendCracking breakfast at the hotel
Great short run tonight - couple of miles in the snow at 6pm, next step in the dog's return to running. The lights from city bouncing off the clouds and snow meant I didn't need a torch, and 3" of snow is just about perfect running conditions!
I'll be there tommorrow night even if I have to walk round. I'll check the course out and report later Pub afterwards.
Studs may be the order of the day
I'm about 50/50 for tonight - not sure if I'll be able to get there by car, and my calf's somewhat knackered so probably can't manage cycling there then running. Hopefully see you later though, any idea if the bolsterstone road from wharncliffe side has been cleared?I'll be there tommorrow night even if I have to walk round. I'll check the course out and report later Pub afterwards.
