My (RHS) knee has been a bit sore before and after running so gave it a day off

Tinsel Trot, grey when I started but sunny by the time I reached the top (76mins) and unseasonally mild. Very, very wet across the Somme, both time and energy consuming. Do enjoy this route and a bit tired afterwards. Need to get some studs!

Run on Purdown -not quite a standard route, but did have the usual hills. Not particularly wet but still typically greasy. Lacking in energy so a real plod

Barossa -a bit of an Army special for the Nick Baeston Trophy. Barossa, the course seemed to keep you in the forest and partly because there were quite a lot of controls and there was quite a lot of timber on the floor my mins/ km is a bit disappointing. Really messed up no 1, but kept on keeping on and not too many mistakes but not any faster splits. Really, really enjoyed this run and was quite tired at the end

Blaise Castle standard route, still a bit snotty but ran a bit better
Went over to Blaise to collect tabs from Planning course

Leigh Woods route, quite 'achy' and 'snotty' still but better than yesterday

Down the cycle path along through the estates/ park on W side of Frome, Frechay, Moorend back along the community path. Quite flat varied and generally just nice being out
