Round the lake up Catbells n Walla. Steady away, enjoyable pace mostly. Phil Davies kept wanging off the front but myself, Ted n MMB were feeling yesterdays exertions, and Kim was chillin. Antony was plugging away just behind. Windy but pleasant day. Hamstrings sore by the end but glad to get out.

Always good fun this one. Worked a bit on the run out to get a position I could work with. Cut through the woods but mucked up the line slightly and frankly, just couldn't run much of it! Struggling onto Blake but perked up on the ridge run and was in a pack with Cal Tinnion, Heneghan and Joe Dugdale (who'd gone wrong). Gained on the front 3 of MMB, Ricky and Al Thomas but I was working enough and settled for 7th by the bottom with a look back showing daylight. Good fun, 3 minutes slower than 2016 - part conditions being windy and wet but mostly just much slower!

King Kong v Hulk Hogan fisticuffs was good value entertainment at the end too

More trotting around, just trying to stay in the nice sunny warmth. A rare event. Felt rough again.

Out with ted again, raining and cold with it. Felt OK to start then felt totally drained and had to insist on cutting it short. Running was a real exercise in willpower. Hmm.

Up Cat Ghyll and down with Theodore. Bit empty for first 20 but ground out a trot up the ghyll.

Easy trotting with Pom

Took a day off, lower back and neck sore from stacking it on Latrigg ice. R calf v tight.
