Stanton Moor
what a mess! the path along the side of the hill was so overgrown I missed it. Should've got the message, but doubled back and found it, after a while I could hardly run, lengths of waist-high bramble flagellating my leg, then my patched-up o-shoes started to rub badly and I think I still have bit of a cold

but boy is it lovely up there with the heather in bloom, gotta get back there for a proper run soon

Farley Hill, Ladygrove, Darley Bridge
didn't feel too bad setting out, but missed the turning and had to make a right-angle straight up hill, adding 140m to the outward section, plus maybe 15m of climb, took over a minute longer than last time

ran out of energy in the final section, on the flat, which felt worse cause that's where I should have been motoring

BOF Rankings
well, the Scottish Six Day results have now been processed and it seems I fell short of my target - top 50 (in M40) - by a mere 13 points; Simon Patton, David Spence, and Steve Birkinshaw, came from nowhere.

Haven't had a good clean run since my return (with 'run' being the operative word). So, the potential for improvement is there.

C • Give it a couple of weeks. ... 3

Ocker Loop (short)
had to drag myself out, feeling stiff and depleted, and it was hard to get going, but my split for the first 2km was easily my fastest - go figure!
