[Derby Tup]

6ml / 800ft on Ilkley Moor. Good to see Trimm Tramm out and going well

7m/1000ft home from work, saw some curlews and hares and imagined my dog was with me, 3 weeks from now she'll be clear for walks, be a nice warm down after a run to go for a pleasant pooch poddle

[Duncan R]

Just started again after 2 months off. Last week
Mon - 6m easy with club along river
Wed - hill session on Helm, total 4m, 700ft, slow , v hard
Fri - 2mls easy
Sat - Bendrigg 10k 53.28, so tired but enjoyed being in a race at last & good workout.

Probably a bit much first week but so good running again. Foot more uncomfortable than painful now so improving slowly.

Oh if life was so simple, i suffer from Achilles tendon bursitis, so if i run on say a Monday, its Thursday before i can run again, well i can run but the pain is well not nice!
So as part of my 2 year plan i have to substitute the running and get wet. hence the swimming 200 lengths a week
But this weekend in true Amex style i am running the midsummer madness 3 races 3 days not much i know, as in distance or height, but it will hurt.
Why i hear you cry, as Mrs amex says you daft bugger why hurt yourself---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fell running gives me things in life that i just cannot find anywhere else



and before any body else say it there is no weight in water

[Duncan R]

Thanks mate, sorry to hear that but at least you have a plan! And the swimming should give you an Ian Thorpe type body, maybe...
