Running long 58:00 [3] 7.0 mi (8:17 / mi) +80m 8:00 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ravenna 5
I wasn't really ready for this, but Paul from my club lives round the corner & is training for London, so:
58 mins long run on road & verges, felt awful, slow & unfit, rubbish, but lovely sunny day so on balance glad I went! Hope another stage in running off the past 6 weeks.
last 20 minutes - LEFT TIGH hurting quite a lot, especially on descents. Really painful!
Now to rest!

Orienteering race 40:45 [5]
shoes: Mud Claw 333
BOK Sat league, Bathampton , Green, 5km 160m
Cold. Grim drive there. barely made it for registration....
Jog to start - freezing. No maps. Not good. Millie Stagg was at the start, she was the planner.
A stroke of luck though, as "actuary" appeared, having done Parkrun *and* an additional training run, and I heckled him, mentioning the lack of maps & demanding he give me his. (later, it would be clear that had he only had one, that would have been fine as the last 2 controls he had to go could easily have been done on map memory)
He had picked up 2 maps (thereby becoming "part of the problem"), and he stopped to give me his "spare" map, which would mean of course he had a cast iron excuse for me beating him on that leg ;)
Quite enjoyed the course , but I know the area too well now (having won the previous BOK sat league here), and so mistakes were minimal, but the course *could* have been harder....?
No real mistakes. Won. Just . Wore woolly hat for first 4 controls then took it off.
Eddie Narbett far too close on 3 recent BOK events - M16 - he's going to soon be burning me off PotterA/MaliphantB style - and I'll be able to do nothing about it. It sucks getting "aged". Mind you I can still keep the senior Potters & Maliphants at bay ;) (the parents)
Pleased with win. No, I would not have been up for the Southerns tomorrow,, another 30 mins on top of today would have killed me. Yes, I will enter Midlands - next w/e. I predict pain.

Running 28:00 [3] 3.5 mi (8:00 / mi) +60m 7:36 / mi
shoes: Brooks Ravenna 5
Steady Victoria park run. a bit slippy in mud. May wear my fell shoes next time I'm in the park.
No issues except being unfit & inflexible.
Pace slow.
Right decision not to do Southerns this w/e. What about the midlands, tho.....??? Answers on a postcard.

Running 16:00 [2] 2.0 mi (8:00 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Ravenna 5
My first run of 2015. Slow easy run from new house (1st run from new house! damn should have taken Garmin). To southville & back, road.
Having lost 5.5 Kg in past 13 months (according to my Diabetic nurse - she's not diabetic, I am - well she might be! - but anyway, I am - and getting worse) so felt very light & skipped along slowly yet nimbly, legs feeling weird but thin & effective. Lungs not bad. Heart hammering tho.
Cut it nice & short - felt clearly desperately unfit, but will try 20 -25 mins on thurs then jog the BOK sat league on Saturday.
No coughing after. Illness box unticked. That'll be good news, then? Sadly I'm horribly unfit, the glory of CompassSport cup & my 18 second victory on the penultimate leg, mid December, a distant memory ..... :((
