| Steady run up the Nicky Nook valley up onto Harrisend fell and back the same way apart from a foray into the woods down a new path. Legs understandably a little heavy but mostly ok. |

| Warm up. Legs were feeling good, which is only about the 2nd time this year that has happened, no exaggeration. |

| Anniversary Waltz fell race. Just fckin awesome. Brilliant course with lots of ridiculously steep climbs (the 1st bit of climb up Robinson was like a wall, a team of sherpas wouldnt have looked out of place) runnable climbs and mental descents. Set off quite steady as didnt have a clue about the route, the plan was to follow everyone else. Reached the summits of Robinson, Hindscarth and Dale Head without too much bother. Minced a bit on the descent from Dale Head (quads were feeling it a bit) trying not to go arse over tit and break something. Just past the tarn the mysterious man known only as 'the mullet' came past me on a better line and i ran with him until deciding that someone with that much hair couldnt possibly know where he was going and i went further right. This proved a mistake as along the long ridge run for home i took a few dodgy routes and ending up losing maybe 90 secs due to this. Awesome views for the whole race, no snow on top and i almost got blown off Cat Bells from the wind. So much fun it was untrue, screw the British, this is where its at. |

| Flat run from my parents house. All on roads except the canal bit. Went up Joe lane for a change and some extra distance. Spent a long time weighing up the pros and cons but decided i havent got the time to travel 18 hours in 2 days for 2.30hrs of orienteering. Even if it is the 'greatest BEOC in history' or whatever. Not with 10weeks of placement hell starting on monday. Priorities and all that malarky. |

| Warm up to the start of the fell race route and warm down from the quarries on the other side of the moor. Came back along the danger path and then up my favourite path just for a treat and some extra climb. |
| running 22:00 [4] | |
| |
| 60 x 30 x 15 Foxdals on the moor. Aiming to hit a hr max of 165 on each interval. Felt unfit and slow rather than lethargic and sleepy, which i count as a big improvement over recent form. |

| Through Luddenden, up to Midgley Moor the usual way, along the Calderdale Way for a bit then through the quarries and down through the steep wood and back along the canal past the Highland cows. |
