grand session with dave A, Tom and Dave S, 15x1min around millhouses, 5 mile warm up with dave. No wonder he manages such good mileage!! Tom met at one end of the paark we waited at the other , doh!!
great to do a session with other people enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. 2 mile jog through eccy woods and home for chilli and beer.
Making the most of having no family at home for a few days!!

C • 4.5 miles 2

good early evening run with Tim, up Limb Valley, through the plantation and then back through the parks. Nice and steady sore knee and right achilles, hopefully just a bit stiff.

Bit of a jog in to work listening to new Bon Iver, was running late so had to speed up along Rivelin Valley. I blame slightly soporofic album, very nice but a little samey. Stiff from reasonably hard run yesterday, a wee bit tired.

Had time for a session at lunch. 1 mile warm up 3miles hard , 1 mile steady, 3 miles hard, steady run home. Took a while to get moving felt ok at the end. Possibly because wind in face on way out and behind me on way back.
Managed to get around without being stung by a bee. Forgot I was stung mid park run on Saturday, half way along Rustlings Road. I normally like all things bee,( their physics defying ability to fly, their magical making of honey and their natty black and yellow outfits) but that was my third bee sting this summer. I have been led to believe that bees had fallen upon hard times, we even have planted some lavender in our garden for them specially and this is their thank you!! The ungrateful bastards. They did however sting Rob mid Hallam Chase and help me out, so perhaps we are even.

Nice steady run home after late finish from work. Stop on way home to chat to Andy C and feed brother's cat . Not at the same time though .

swimming, gardening and in the park

30mins nice steady run to the park run , tried to go off steady and run hard on second lap. Felt quite good which was probably because i was not running very quick, sadly often the way. I timed myself at 1601, was hoping they may have officially got me at least sub 16. I will never know as was anonymous on results . Not sure why got beeped in, never mind, time to print off another barcode.

C • If it helps... 3

damp and dark this morning for a trip around dam flask with Rob. The run just flew by with some macho talk about how to make pavlova. Next week we might discuss profiteroles.
