 | Running (Blencathra) 1:36:00 [3] 15 km (6:24 / km) +960m 4:51 / km | |
| shoes: adidas adistar control |
| From near Scales Farm up to Scales Tarn and then up Sharp Edge (the scramble took about 30 minutes but didn't include it in the run time) went back down via Bannerdale and particularly enjoyed running down Scales Fell when I lost grip on the short wet grass and ended up sliding 50m down the hill on my arse. Back to the Baxter's for an amazing lunch then headed home via IKEA for some household essentials for our new place. With Rich, Kim and Kel. |

| Running hills (Borrowdale Spectating) 1:30:00 [1] 14 km (6:26 / km) +850m 4:56 / km | |
| shoes: adidas goretex |
| Ran from Honister Pass up to Green Gable then Great Gable and back. Lots of stops and waiting for first runners to come through in the Borrowdale Fell Race. Lots of mist a bit of rain and then occasional glimpses of amazing scenery when it momentarily cleared. Ran with Kim, Rich and Kel. On the way back stopped off to see the church and youth hostel where Kim and Rich are getting married, both have received the Candy tick of approval. Had a feast at Rich's parents for dinner, thanks Joan! |

Wednesday Jul 30 |
| Running (lunchtime 'jog') 40:00 [3] 9 km (4:27 / km) | |
| shoes: adidas adistar control |
| With Steve, he was doing 70 mins but I wasn't up for that so turned around after 20, I didn't have a watch so I can only assume that I ran back as fast as I ran out with Steve... actually pretty unlikely. Felt pretty crap today hence the 40 instead of 70, want to make sure I am in good shape for the lakes this weekend. Work dinner tonight near the office, should be fun! |

| Bouldering (traverses) 45:00 [1] | |
| |
| Did the circuit of traverses on the near side of Stannage on the way home from work, definitely getting a much better feel for gritstone but I could tell it had been ages since I climbed, my arms blew up in no time. |
