| Feeling a bit better today so there is some hope that we might be able to do something on the last two days of our 'long weekend away', although it is likely to be much closer to home than first planned. Today will be mostly spent on the couch though... |

| The cold has set in with a vengeance so the trip to Snowdon and Anglesey has been cancelled and its movies on the couch at home instead. I don't fell so bad about ruining the holday because Kelly is just as sick as me... What a waste of a weekend and the half term break! |

| Running (lunchtime loops) 1:03:00 [3] 12 km (5:15 / km) +270m 4:43 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR (red) |
| The first of what will hopefully become regular lunchtime runs on Thursdays and Fridays when i am working form home. Decided since I am actually doing some running now it was about time I got to know my local trails. Its a bit embarassing when you invite somebody to go for a run and then need to get them to show you the way..... hmmm, still waiting for Craney to ask us around to his for a run and dinner though... |

| Running (night run) 40:00 [2] 7 km (5:43 / km) +140m 5:12 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR (red) |
| Went for a jog with Kelly and didn't even need BJ to abuse me on skype first. Ran for about 30 mins around the grass and paths of Bingham Park and then Endcliffe. Ended back home with Kelly and then did a bit extra running down to the shops for some milk and pasta sauce and then around the block to get up to 40 minutes. |

| Thought I would just go for a run before it got dark. It got dark after about 5 minutes so I figured that i might as well just keep going. Started off running around the trails on the south side of endcliffe valley and then finished off running straight back down the valley to Endcliffe park and then about 10 minutes running around the block to get up to an hour. |

| Running (coaches run) 45:00 [3] 8 km (5:38 / km) +450m 4:23 / km | |
| shoes: Brooks Adrenaline ASR (red) |
| Really cool run with JennyJ and Lard from the accommodation the wrong way around the town loop from the sprint race yesterday and then up the hill to the top of some big cliffs. Lard decided that the hill was too easy so continued on while JennyJ and I ran slowly down the rocky path like a couple of track athletes. Finished off running the town loop from yesterdays sprint race the right way after checking out a possible river crossing route choice. Was starting to wonder if Lard had been attacked by some wolves or fallen off the cliffs until he trotted back. |
