Running 1:48:00 [3]
Couldn't be bothered for morning run but then decided i should not be so lazy.
I ran at Blaise Castle while family walked - ran over every path but did not come across the castle at all...
Then i ran back to grans (getting lost despite specific instructions of how not to get lost) via the downs for a loop while they drove home

afternoon rivelin run, muddy and very lovely sunshine through trees.
felt very tired for first 40 minutes, then i stopped thinking. then i decided a 20 minute 'effort' might be a good idea - it was.

Running (orienteer sort of) 25:00 [1]
very annoying horrible day of working so orienteering was not the best plan. as i found out on the way to no 1. then my brain said no, so i jogged back.

Warm up/down 20:00 [2]
Note
I saw things in the peak district for the first ever time today - I could see little streams and rocks and sheep and things it was so exciting I didnt know it looked so pretty and was not just a big blurred expanse of green and brown which is all I have been able to see for the past 2 years
Saturday Dec 5, 2009 #
Running 17:00 [3]
i went for a short fast late run because i was drawing the peak district all day, my legs are sore and i thought a chicken might be burning.
Friday Dec 4, 2009 #
Running 25:00 [2]
tired and busy until late-ish but finally dragged myself out and of course really glad i did as running made me happy again

discovered lower legs are very sore when i press thumbs into them.
Thursday Dec 3, 2009 #
Running 21:30 [2]
down to boots to pick up new lenses - i can now see, but the world is smaller because it does not have half a centimeter of blur around everything any more
Note
i decided on no spinning or intervals - tight muscles at front of lower legs

Running (william hills race) 52:37 [3] 7.6 mi (6:55 / mi) +143m 6:32 / mi
I cannot run and read maps together - so I'd planned to run with someone who knew the way - and did not look at the map before I set off.
but then i decided to run it the Other Way Round, alone, to get the long hill from hunters bar to crookes in (i liked this way round, its a good hill)
however looking at the map afterwards I did some daft long routes somehow adding a lot on. i had to keep stopping to stand and read map. wandered around for a while trying to find the leopold st one. And stood outside the train station for ages at one point wondering what i was doing there. oh well
