| Regional event in Tankersley. First hard run in three weeks and it felt it, very slow and rough (myself) and had no power. Nice place though, lots of pits and small paths meant that you had to keep awake at all times. Took a while to get into it but didn't make any sizable mistakes, just slow. |

| Rivelin short loop. A bit over dressed in leggings and windproof, but a great evening for a run and now light enough to b out gone 5. Felt quite comfortable today (although the wind did help on the run up Coppice - just under 8 minutes). A fast 3 in effort which was about all I could manage without suffering, think it will take another 2-3 weeks before I can run properly hard again. |

| Plateaux behind Fa, down to the bottom and back up from home. Early run but was wonderful out. Took the long steady climb at the start slowly (27.30 to top) and likewise the climb our of Fa. Still not running great but getting back. |

| Afternoon on the easy slopes with Faye (33 today) in Les Angles. Not great snow as it's still so warm, icy up higher and slushy at the bottom. Did a long easy run three times, Faye was ready to pack it in after 10 minutes but got better and started enjoying it. Good day, legs tired though. |

| Rennes-le-Chateau loop, sticky but not wet, ran hardish up the firsh hill (Rennes in 25.00) and then died - quads and thighs sore from yesterday - but kept going at a reasonable pace. |

| X-C skiing 2:00:00 [2] | |

| 3 Bielle XC skiing with the rest of the family. Tired as I have no technique, did an extra loop and some quicker bits on my own but mostly tired from being so crap. Not much snow and very warm, but lovely to be out and the mountains looked amazing. |
