River / Canal Run - Friday 29th November 2013

I head out at lunch for the usual river / canal loop.

Work...again - Thursday 28th November 2013

Once again I don't make it out for a run or ride.  Not a good day for many reasons.

Training - Wednesday 27th November 2013

Training and back to the golf course tonight. 6 reps but only 3 in each direction, that makes it a bit easier to mentally deal with, physically it still tough. But running from home does mean I get home earlier but keen not to have an easier evening so I do run to QKS too. 

Work - Tuesday 26th November 2013

Another long day and too much time spent in the car.....at least it's a comfortable place to be.

Training - Monday 25th November 2013

A cold night. I work hard but little comes of it :-(

Anniversary Waltz Race Route - Sunday 24th November 2013

Head up to North Lakes with KA for a run around the Anniversary race route. A favourite of both of ours. A dull day though, not the blue sky and sunshine like yesterday. But it's dry, not too windy and the cloud base is high. 

From Stair a steady run out along the track and then a little road to Newlands Church. Then along the valley before a steep climb up to Robinson. Next Hindscarth and easy running to Dale Head. A little frosty and care needed on the rocks. 

The descent from here is never great, today we try the path and that is no better, probably worse but at least we know. Along to Maiden Moor and good running before the last short climb to Catbells and then a great descent back to Stair. 

A good run out and then into Keswick for lunch. 

Arnside Ride - Saturday 23rd November 2013

Up and out early. A cold, frosty but glorious morning. I drive over to Natland and then on bike to Silverdale and Arnside. Usual route, out through Crosscrake, Viver, Milnthorpe! Storth and to Silverdale. Then over to Arnside and back along extraterrestrial to Heversham, Hincaster Sedgwick and back into Natland.  

Good to be out and my Gore Bike Wear keeps me warm.
