Event: Yorkshire XC Championships
 

Yorkshire cross country champs, great to have to such a huge Hallamshire turn out. Shame we could not beat Leeds again.
5 laps of Wakefield course. Apparently organisers have beed told to be cautious with muddy courses after Alton Towers last year, so cut out some muddyish bits. Seems a shame, but I goes it was not my ankles being broken. Anyway 5 windy laps , felt OK moved through steadily to finish 11th. Legs OK but still felt a bit flat. Could not go with one of the Leeds guys when he pushed on.
Excessively long warm up and zero warm down as had to get home for a birthday tea!

A lovely morning run with Rob. Dry, chilly no wind, beautiful pink sunrise around Damflask.

Very convoluted run to work too dark and wet off road . Brief off road stretch almost ran into a fallen tree. Enjoyed weather today ,mostly as had a tailwind . Sore gluts from hills yesterday , hopefully means they are switched on (as the physios tell me)

Run home from work was going to do some reps along Rustlings Road opted for Springvale Spirals instead when I got outside. Have not done these for years did extra Townend and Bates Street for old times sake. 12 hills in total. Quite enjoyed it once I got going , no idea how I was running too busy trying not to get blown over.

Fairly unpleasant morning run out to Dam Flask, part of the way round and home. On my own with no Rob could not face all the way around in the wind and the rain. Think i am getting soft in my old age.

Brief lunch time run in stupidly busy day with late finish. Stayed dry.

Was going to do some hills today , but full of cold so did a more enjoyable run through eccy woods, up to Dore out onto plantation and then back from Ringinlow. Felt ok by the end, right leg playing up with sciatica.
