Monday Oct 30 |
| Road run 49:00 [3] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel GT 2100 |
| First winter run on roads, not looking forward to several months of it. Ran with Craney and friend, out to Fulwood and back, steady bit not fast - one hill in the middle which was a bit harder. Tired from the length of yesterday rather than the distance (at least I wasn't recovering from the OMM). |

| |
| Survey trip from Ladybower up to Bleaklow (for Peaks map). Limited time so jogged most of it. Lots of bog and peat hags. Well tired, beautiful day to be out in the hills though. |
