Wansfell, Ambleside to Troutbeck
Didn't know whether to go out but the weather cleared up. Nice run out through the town and along a gradual path before the steps! Tried to run as much as possible but got beaten by the end. Conditions on the topped deteriorated a bit, proper fell running with some proper mud! Almost a navigational blunder off the top! Always check the map... Fairly quick descent down the track then the heavy rain and thunder hit. Tried to get off fast! Need to wear contact lenses when fell running...

Up to Blacksail pass with Dad, then onto the Mosedale horseshoe. Great day with the clouds clearing! Steep descent from Dore head was a little unpleasant.

Up to Styhead pass then explore on Seathwaite fell.

Styhead Pass attempt
Pretty rainy so headed out in coat. Track basically a river in a number of places, was going to make it more of a loop but the river was too high and flowing very fast. Bit of a slog up and turned back early due to the weather. Fun descent down the main track.

Common run
Didn't really know what to do, didn't fancy the session and wanted to have an easy week/month. Sometimes harder when it's not routine! Legs felt pretty rubbish, tired and achey in places. Picked up a bit near the end.

First work lunch session in weeks, always tougher than the stuff I do at home. Shoulders a bit tight
