Lowther Trail Run - Sunday 14th August 2016

A new race for me, 13 mile loop from Lowther Castle. The day doesn't go as planned but that must  be my fault. Conditions are good, dry and warm with a slight breeze and the ground fairly dry. 

I run well, a great route, some fell, some road, some track, some bogs, some tussocks and the occasional river crossing too. I run well, feel strong and get stronger towards the end, gaining places and pulling away from others. 27th, I'll settle for that.

Circuits and Swim - Thursday 11th August 2016

Another early morning circuits session - mainly boxing this week but at least that's a break from press-ups ! 

Then for a swim at lunch, but far too much traffic (in the pool) for me.
