Ride - Saturday 31st October 2015

Up early, life admin out the way and then head out on bike. From home, to Brigsteer, Levens, Undernarrow, Crook, Staveley, bacon & egg roll, Burneside and home. 22.2 miles in the dry. 

Skelwith Run - Friday 30th October 2015

I have a early Physio appointment in Ambleside and then, with a few days leave still available, I take the morning off and meet up with KA for a run......not sure that was a sensible idea after enduring an hour of deep tissue massage !! And it's wet too ! But a chocolate croissant and coffee before setting off always makes for a good start. 

We head out from Skelwith, to Lilly Tarn, Loughrigg Tarn, Neum Crag, Skelwith, Colwith, High Cross, Yew Tree Tarn, Tarn How's, Sunny Brow and back to Skelwith. It does dry up but remains very soggy underfoot. About 12 miles and then a quick shower and into work.....for some more Client Summaries....don't ask !!'

Pilates - 29th October 2015

Catch up session as I couldn't make my usual one on Tuesday. Hard work but very rewarding.

George Fishers / Petzl Night Run - Wednesday 28th October 2015

I skip out of work early and head up to Keswick with KA to take part in the the George Fishers / Petzl night run.  It's a promotion by Petzl, a short run out and the chance to try their various Re-active headlamps (which I already have...and highly recommend, the Nao, less impressed by the fiddly buttons on the Tikka's though).

A steady run out along the shore of Derwent and then a steady climb up through the woods, somewhere below Walla Crag, before heading back to the shop.

One lucky person will win a Petzl Nao, well it wasn't me but the winner was standing not far away from me and spoke non stop about winning all the way home :-)

Anyway after a quick cuppa and change in the Cali, head to The Square Orange Cafe for drink and tapas, and some excellent live music. A good evening out :-)

Edinburgh - Tuesday 27th October 2015

A long day out in Edinburgh on business, the only exercise was running along Princess Street with James as he cut it a bit fine to catch his train !

Scar Run - Monday 26th October 2015

So dark by 5pm.....time to dig out and charge the Petzl Nao....and then up to the Scar for a run. Actually it's close to a full moon and with the clear sky, it's relatively light, mild too. 

A good run, all seems to be going well :-)

Lyth Valley Ride - Sunday 25th October 2015

A busy day, I get up early and the out my clocks back, so rather than an extra hour in bed I get an extra hour to use during the day. 

Some essential home admin to get out the way first and then to Keswick for some essential kit shopping.....well just a new pair of gloves.....because I really don't have enough pairs already !!!

Then up to see wee Barnus, he's ok so then on to Natland for a ride. The usual Lyth Valley route but with a few extra miles, via Viver, added on the way out. I was expecting a dry ride, but that wasn't the case, some cold rain for the last few miles, but I can handle it ! :-)
