Sped's 3 Peaks. Nice steady start, which got blown out the water when we took different lines. MMB put the gas on up Catbells, and I chased him til I caught him at the boardwalk and asked "why he was racing". At which point I started jogging. I should really get over myself.

Anyway, took the scenic less roady routes, and enjoyed it. Legs strong enough, chest not great. Big week done.

Mostly slow pootle along leg 2 with the Brownes, the Rippers, the Spains, Todd and twa dogs. Met "Il be late for the run cause I need to get my haircut" Matt on Gt Dodd, and Pete and Hazel on Helvellyn. Stop-start so I just kept walking til folk caught up. Enjoyable outing on a lurvely day. Runners everywhere.

Got out round Leg 1 of BG. Entirely in cloud apart from the top 200m of Skiddaw - see https://twitter.com/RhysFR . Seriously awesome. Got round without a map no bother, reasonably squelchy underfoot but moving well enough. Only ate a bit of chocolate. Ran to Keswick off the top of the Blen rather than messing about looking for the parachute drop in the cloud. 2.09 to the top of Blencathra, so about 15 hour pace. Bit quick! Don't think I want to start that quickly.

C • Bit quick 2

Round the pond on another mild day. Bumped into Simon so chatted. Achilles variable.

Watched Passengers in the evening - pretty pants.

High fell action with young Ted. Styhead, Corridor, West Wall Traverse, Scafell summit, Foxes Tarn/Puddle, Scafell Pike summit, Broad Crag then an off road descent to Seathwaite. Great fun, greasy rocks made it a bit slow in spots, stopped to take some piccys too.

Yoga. Reallly enjoyed it tonight, strongest Iv felt. Also smashed everyone on the quad strength sitting thing. Woo, something I can do!

Easy Glen of Terror with MMB. Achilles on and off but better than sunday.

Easy Grisedale Pike, Coledale Hause and back along the miners track with Zoe. Weather actually alright higher up. Time is a total guess

Cliumbing again. Knocked off a bunch of 6as tonight and arms never totally exploded. Progress. Green in the corner outfoxing us all.
