| WOW! Decided to go for a bit of a ride as Jess was down at inter-counties. One of the longest training sessions i've ever had, just one of the day's at the KIMM longer i think. A great route from Bolton Abbey over to somewhere just south of Kirkby Stephen and back. Had planned to go to the Really Wild Baugh fell race, but left it too late and missed it by about half an hr. Got up to 70km/h coming down to Hawes, though not sure if my speedo's 100% accurate. Quite tired afterwards. |

| Run from work up to Weetwood for end of term training session. R. hip flexor quite painful now, need to have a rest day to give it time to heal. The guys started their session late, so by the time they'd finished and had had cakes and champagne, i couldn't be bothered running home so got a lift with Pete. Lucky, cos the i'd had 3 glasses of champers and would probably have run in front of a car on the way home... |

| Very, very windy ride. Probably not safe to even go out, but i didn't have any running kit up in Newcastle, so was adamant i was gonna do a ride. Dropped Jess off at job interview in Sunderland and cycled from there to Durham. Actually got blown off the A-road onto a slip road at one point as couldn't keep bike in a straight line! Came back on and kept grinding away. Found a bike path, then remembered i'd actually been there before when we stayed at Emma and James' for Durham relays. Decided to go along it, then discovered the tarmac stopped fairly quickly. Carried on anyway as it was a fairly decent track. Went to Diggerland, then came home as the rain came in. Massive difference riding with a tailwind on the way back, 50 mins quicker, whizz!!! |

| Morning run with Sarah. Quads were better, but R. hip flexor gave me some pain after 40 mins. Decided to run back along the canal as it was the uphills which antagonised hip flexor. |
