| Got stuck with a drugged-up Baker on last leg. Knew the hill (Fairfield) would be big but didn't know we'd be racing for so long. Don't think I've ever really done any actual races up proper mountains before so no wonder I'm not really that good at them. Just had to hang in there up the hill while Baker skipped along merrily, but did alright on the descent. Very nearly got caught by the Dark Peak vets team, but a fast finish made sure we weren't embarrased. Set off in 5th and came back in 5th.
Lesson of the day: fun though bum-sliding is, the soreness isn't worth it. |

| Nice day I guess, legs working alright, still stopped for a bit to have a squiz at the nice view. Sorta feel like I'm just running for the sake of it at the mo. |

| It was squirrel tastic out there today, don't think I've ever seen so many. Must be squirrel bank holiday or sommit. Even saw a couple of dead ones that had fallen out of a tree lying in a road. Guess they'd been fighting over a nut or something. Otherwise the run was quite dull and I felt a bit tired. Down to waterworks, up to Stanno ridge, down Spoon Lane, down Loxley Valley to Malin Bridge, up Rivelin Valley and up to top of Lodge Lane. |

| Same run as sometime last week: up to Pole, along to High Neb, over to conduit and back via Wyming Brook. Nice, still, quiet evening but pretty cloudy. Had a good old sit down and think on the top of High Neb for a while. Hard to make myself run again after that. Felt pretty good really. |
