Fantastic! No rain and plenty of sunshine. Taxal Edge and the Goyt Valley were a picture.Originally Posted by Swoop
Club fell run from Taxal tonight. It's been fine all day and now it's beginning to thunder.
Expect there will be a downpour soon!
Nice meal in the Shady Oak as well.
a beautifull run up and over the erewash valley
8 miles about
had to stop and watch a shoal of bream basking on the surface of the erewash canal , must have been about 30 bream , 2/3 pounds each .
not everyday you see that
very clear night
i could see all the way to crich stand to the north and bardon hill in leics to the south
brill
oh and my knee is better
six miles this morning, finding running a big effort at the minute, not sure why, but legs just feel like lead for the first two or three miles
Track work this evening for me. 10k at a steady pace considerin its warm and humid.
Couple of observations about facilities and Fatness over here
Facilities: Most schools have tracks, the one I was on tonight was olympic standard and absolutely open to anyone who wanted to use it. Dont really get that in the UK
Fatness: Now this is true - honest. Some people over here use athletic tracks to walk. Yes walk. There was a fat woman tonight with her daughter walking around the track both wearing ipods!! She had an arse as wide as a track lane - again no lie. They did 4 laps and got back in the car. I was shaking my head every time I passed em. How the hell does she hope to shrink that butt with so called "exercise" like that?
Only in the USA
I suppose it's a start though, isn't it? That's a lot more exercise than a lot of people in the country where the automobile rules supreme, and it's got to be cheaper than one of those gastric bypass operations.
It's amazng how many schools have good standard tracs for students and the public to use. This is something that our government muyst really look at with the current rebuilds which are taking place within the english school structure. It's fine to look at healthy eating and healthy schools, but more investment in to sports facilities in our prmary and secndary schools can only lead to more young people getting involved in sport and therefore increasing everyones level of health and maybe also weeding out the next generation of olympians.
6 mile steady for me today. Nice and hot but very windy as well. Off to pick Tomas up now and travel to Graburn race ready for tomorrow.
Aso had the pleasure of timing an 800m runner today on his last 500m rep. He ran 61 seconds for 500m! When I was calling times out I was wondering if my watch was bust!
