My shoulder injury has all but stopped me getting out recently but after getting on the scales yesterday I was " prompted " to get out so took the dogs for an easy 4 miler. Titled it " move your arse fatty " on strava!

5 1/2mile road run this evening, damn it was chilly, maybe that's why I was a little quicker than normal.

Hope that a lot of the runners that I saw this evening will still be at it in a couple of months.

Ran 6.8km yesterday, very nippy.

Ran with a group tonight, 11.5km much warmer.

Can't find my cycling gear for tomorrow morning :sad:

Finally did a reasonable distance today (8.5miles), that's my longest since 16th October when I did my calf damage. Damn slow at 8:20 minutes per mile when my target for the Southampton half in April is 6:45. But as long as I stay injury free I can't see any problems improving on that. I had got to 7:00 before the set backs.

Week after next I'm aloud to up it to 2 road runs with the treadmill work. Can't wait it's soooooo much nicer running in the real world, rather than looking at the kitchen wall all the time!
 
Missed out on the 'Auld Lang Syne' on Saturday, as I failed to send my entry in time
It's the only one of Eileen, & Daves, races that are (mailed) entries in advance, and all 400 places can go in one postal delivery!

It sometimes makes it to the mainstream papers, as well as the Yorkshire Post

This was in the Sunday Times

And the YPs picture

There's generally a pair of quite good (Bingley Harriers) triathletes running too...........:whistle:
Here's one of them back in 2012 (in the blue/white vest)

NB; If anyone watched the recent Brontes drama (To Walk Invisible) on BBC, the filmset was built in/around the quarry where the Woodentops events start/finish

Got home from work planning another run this evening, dug through my running kit drawer looking for a pair of tights, realised I only had two pairs (not three that I thought I had) which were in the wash I decided to head out in shorts, damn that was chilly.

Ended up with 6 miles off road and legs covered with mud, great fun:smile:

Ran to work yesterday, partly XC. through woodland, & along the bank of the River Calder (it was the route of a colliery railway, that took coal to the loading point at the Canal. Into 'Tom Puddings', if anyone knows what they are)
Scroll down to below the 'boat launch', & the picture of the saddle-tank locomotive shows what it was like (I run along the 'line' heading away from the camera)

It was a bit cool, sunny, but frozen ground, & usually quite muddy in parts - this is the entry into NewLands Woods (taken a few weeks ago, but just a frozen version)

Further along, as I pass from the Woods, onto the river bank, if it's rained a lot, there can be a large (knee-deep) 'puddle', full of whatever's washed down into it...............

Coming home, at 22:30 was considerably colder though, with a sharp frost on the ground, & yes, I was in shorts:angel:
Back the same way, river bank & woods (with headtorch)

I am planning on doing soon,
But either cycle or drive to work in the morning, then run home.
It's a mixed route, 25% off road 25% on road, 50% cycle track.
8 miles in all.
 
Nostell ParkRun again this morning (#129)

I was pleased, & surprised, to see a few familiar faces there, that I've not seen for a while
Stella, who was one of our Nurses, before leaving
Angela, & (other half) Mick; 'A' is a very good Duathlete, & ex-National champion, 'M' is a very good triathlete, who has worn an (age-group) GB tri-suit

A slow start, from near the back

Plus, SWMBO surprised me, by standing on the steps of the 'big house' itself, as we headed out on first lap (she had meant to come to watch, before going to her office, but had told me she wasn't bothering)

29th/228 @ 24:10 for me
Angela = 5th @ 20:58
Mick = 11th @ 21:28
(my course PB would have got me 12th today!!)

We, as a Club, also took 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th. & 2nd lady; Liane (in 18th)

My turn to Run Direct at parkrun today so no chance to run. Seriously tempted to go out now for a 5k but it's very misty at the moment where I live. I know, I know call me a wimp lol. Maybe later :smile:
