This morning's headtorcher!
Another weekend and the usual ferrying of the kids to their various activities, starting wih my daughter's gymnastics on Saturday morning. I also needed to get in a long run in preperation for the Edale Skyline so nothing for it but a 4:45 alarm call this morning and out running by 5am. It was a nice run actually The first hour with the head torch. Dazzled a few rabbits loads of roosters and then the dawn corus. Really felt like spring. Why did God make animals as stupid as sheep? For those of you who know Cobden Edge I was travelling anti clockwise towards the very narrow section with the style by the wood with 20 odd sheep in front of me. Instead of breaking off to the left when they could they just kept running towards the bottle neck with the fence on one side and a cliff on the other. I had visions of a farmer charging me for the cost of 20 dead sheep after they ran over the cliff. Luckly they managed to squeeze through a gap in the fence. So a good (but slowish) 4 hr 21 mile run. Got home at 9:15 time for a quick shower then off to gymnastics at 9:30 only to be told that my daughter was a bit tired and was not going.....
