Lovely easy run from Hartsop with Purkis in the cloud! :) Hartsop Dodd, Stoney Cove Pike, Thornwaithe Crag, High Street, The Knott,and back down. Perfect. Dodge knee sore near end, no probs with foot!
Up (mostly trying to keep warm from the rain with a delayed start) and short down

Clougha Pike Fell race Decided not to do Snowdon Selection in Settle as was worried about my fitness, so did this instead. Nice fell race with a local feel and in very typical Lake District weather (abso chucking it down and very wet!). Was a fast start and I wasnt able to keep up, then able to work my way through tucking in just behind Iain until it got to the "technical ascent", where he slowly got away. Then lost him and the other Bowland guy completely on the downhill, just was not able to commit and absolutely hated it even though it was gentle and grassy.... Felt unfit and a bit disappointed tbh. Maybe will get better once I get some more miles/racing in again.... 8th overall (female record is 43.46).

Crags, Purkos, MFD from road, Purkos and back to gym. Lots of runners out this morning, made battling the crazy wind easier :). Knee dodge and l.calf feeling tight
80km 500m North Berwick and back. Very chilled with Georgie, in a very low gear the whole way spinning the legs out- enjoyed the chills n chats :). Nice headwind on the way back.
