Week 2

Regular run on Sunday on Winter Hill of 6 miles, 1300ft ascent as a starter. Calf a little sore but coped. Speed more hampered by gallons of water that has come down in the past week.

Repeated Tuesday in dank cold misty conditions, probably even wetter underfoot as more rain has come down. A little bit faster though so pleased with the recovery. Total so far for week 12 miles, 2600ft - on target for weekly schedule of 4200ft ascent and possibly mileage as well but still got week 1 shortfall to make up. Eleven miles tomorrow will help.

11 on the 11th turned out to be well over 12 miles which is good and I've calculated the ascent at 1650ft so weekly total now 24 miles and 4250 feet ascent. Again extremely wet underfoot but at least a rainless day with even a bit of sunshine and plenty of good company.

Thursday night run with Ed and Steve adding 9 miles and 800 ft to bring the weekly total up to 33 miles and 5050 ft.

Big thanks to those who have made contributions to the two charities.
