| Was going to do nothing, but the weather was so nice I had to go out. Just an easy ride along Rivelin Valley Road and back up the A57 to Broomhill. I think my bike computer went a bit haywire as it said my max speed was 199.5 km/h. Pretty sure I wasn't going that fast. |

| Running 1:30:00 [3]18 km (5:00 / km) | |
| shoes: Road shoes |
| Went to Hallamshire with (kind of) the intention of doing intervals, but nobody else was down from our group so went out with John Cox's group. A new route for me out into Wharncliffe and back through Beeley. Pace got cranked up once John dropped out with a twisted ankle, but felt good to push a little bit. Not sure the rest of the group thought so! |

| Made the most of the sunshine and drove out to the Peaks. Parked at Surprise View, dropped down to Grindleford Station, climbed up through Longhaw, across White Edge and to the Blacka trig. Then back through Longshaw. Lovely evening. |

| Nice run with OIi and Rob. Out via Rob and Clare's new house (congratulations guys!) and then up Loxley Valley. The best I've felt running for a while, and nothing really hurt. |

| Trunce 8. 3rd place and a PB, so I have a 13 point lead going into the final race in three weeks time. I felt much fresher today than I did last time (the wonders of running for 25 minutes over the previous 2 days compared to 6 hours) and felt strong. The course was still pretty wet, the lovely summer weather hasn't helped to dry it out. |
