| Would've had another day off but had to hang controls for night-o on the (crap) map I made. Took it as slow as I humanely could and wore lots of clothes. Actually felt ok once I got going. It was cold and rainy and windy. |

| Getting out the door was a struggle but after 10mins my hangover cleared and I enjoyed a pretty swift long run over to Onesmoor trig and High Bradfield. I come to a stile and see a HUGE dog, but it's on a lead and has a muzzle on so I'm not feeling too scared. Then the stupid old bat holding the lead lets go and the beast nuts me in the nads with his muzzle. Get home, have a big lunch and watch the Carling Cup final. Drama! 12 days to go... :o) |

| Got a guest run at Wharncliffe in the varisty match. I knew it was gonna be very brambly and horrid, so I was pleasantly pleased that it was only moderately both of those things. Didn't make any real mistakes, but I was pissed off that I felt puny and weak and slow in the terrain. I think someone good would've done this course in sub-55. As it was I won by 3 whole seconds. |

| One of them days where you could wait all day for it to stop raining and it just ain't gonna. But it wasn't that cold and sliding about in the mud was quite good fun and I felt ok. Rivelin (for a change). I think this was the old skool extended run (Stannington, Dams, back along top). |

| Rivelin old skool. Ran with Middle (yeah, really, shock horror!) down to the bottom. He then did the old old skool shortened version (getting a bit of lingo going here for my multitude of Rivelin runs) while I just stuck to old skool and ran a bit harder to catch him by the stables. Then jogged back home. |

| Great. First session in S.Africa and I twatted my knee on a rock about 5 mins into it. Decided I was hard and I'd carry on. Likely terrain for snakes so running a bit scared. Other people saw zebras but I saw jack. Still, it was about 35 degrees |

| Stannington, Rivelin Dams, top of Rivelin. Wow gorgeous day! And I had the rocky tune in my head. Maybe Sheffield isn't such a bad place. But still rather be going to South Africa. Next run will be in the summer...
Ooh nearly forgot to mention the cricket. You're only as good as your last game. |
