Stark contrast to yesterday where I was worried about my car being dinted by the marble sized hailstones!
Super clear and crisp views out towards Blackpool and up north through the Dales this morning.
Not many people out and about, but I did stumble upon a cavorting couple on the Sabden side of the hill! I was fairly surprised, but they were so engrossed they didn't spot me trotting past only 20 yards away!
I did refrain from shouting over to them 'Bit nippy today eh?'
Great evening run out, 8.75miles and 2300ft. Great conditions, crisp and clear!
6m to work 6m home and 3m with dog tonight, it's turned bloody cold today!
on a taper week this week so 3 quickish miles this morning just to keep the legs ticking over.
Last week Wednesday 5k easy and again on Thursday ready for the FRA Relay, had a good run on leg 3 with no problems on navigation, got round in just over 12k so I don't think we could have cut much more off that, out on the tamden on Sunday, rest on Monday, then a good club run Tuesday, rest yesterday hope to do another steady run today and friday then a bl**dy cold run at The Withens Sunday, nowt to this running lark is there.,
felt a bit tired today so only did 8 miles, but what a lovely day for a run, cold, clear and crisp.
Quick 7 miles with the pups this aft. Proper mud fest!
Tuesday - 5 miles along the beach at Reighton near Filey, including running up the amazingly steep hill back to the caravan site which was fun after such a flat beach.
Wednesday - 3 miles along what was supposed to be a cliff path but turned out to be rather poor and meandered all over the place before abandoning me at a steep ravine. This resulted in a slightly iffy climb up some very steep (almost vertical) grassy/rocky terrain to find the path before losing it again and being faced with a much longer steep grassy climb in rapidly growing darkness. Quite scary, I knew I couldn't get back the way I had come and couldn't identify a path in the dark so had two options. Continue on uphill and eventually reach the top of the cliffs and thus make my way back across fields, or head towards the beach and risk being faced with a sheer drop before getting there. I opted to go to the top and landed back on the proper footpath, which was a major relief, until I followed it as it went downhill back to where I had been stuck beforeand now had to risk the other option. Luckily I hit the beach fairly easily and had nothing more dangerous to cope with than a rising tide and wet feet. Not a great run really, and much shorter and slower than I had intended. Lesson learnt, don't try to follow and unfamiliar clifftop path shortly before nightfall
(even if you do think it will be clear and well signposted)
7.5 miles on the local patch, 1500ft, driech
