Acklandtastic run with Graeme and James in the Peatlands. Nice. Felt iller this morning though. I think I have a touch of sinusitis. Hmm. Might try to change to W40 at the JK...

Oh god. Early morning jaunt along the coastal path. Just so painful early morning when my knees are too sore. I wanted to check out some of the roads so headed up the hill after 2 miles. Getting on the road was good. No irritating national trust steps, a reasonable gradient, so some 8min miling dispite the early hour. Nice.

Nice little run from Boddinick ferry to Polperro via the coastal path. For those not on Strava, polperro is in Cornwall, and the Coastal path around here is bloody brutal. over 1,200ft of climb on this run. OMG the steep bits were brutal. last day here, which was a shame as the paths are excellent, but my cold this week has seriously curtailed my fun. Still done lots of long walks with the kids, which they seem to have enjoyed. Weird.

Are INT going to the CSC final, cause the Wards have had a fun week and would be up for a return visit in October?

So the whole family is ill now, with Lucy's cold having spread to everyone, and Laurence having got the little shit on the train's vomiting bug. Laurence is putting brave face on it though, and Lucy has confessed to a love of cliff top walks - that's how ill she is.

We had a great day out at the lost garden of Heligan, which was fun, then came back via Fowey and I was just so tired but was kicked out the car for the run back.

The start of the run was confusing as the farmer clearly didn't want to advertise the rights of way through his land and I was map memorying. I eventually made it to the South West coastal path turned left and back to Polperro. It was so brutally steep. over 1000ft of climb, and lots of little annoying steps. Felt ok running after feeling shite all day. Good training for Sierre Zinal which I rashly entered today, along with the slightly less alarming 7 hills of Edinburgh.
