Training Log Archive: Old Daniel

Out at Bradley Stoke but just walking - feeling very jaded and lacking enthusiasm.

Run before breakfast and heat, shorter Purdown variant but still three hills

Margarette's funeral which was in many ways what she would have organised -a very positive Family and Friends day. More to think about than running

Run to and from Oldbury Court car park and warm up

Oldbury Court and Frome valley - different slant on the area, very hot day and and still troublingly hot when I started
Course - some quite long legs- think I had most of the routes except the leg back ok but I did climb up the crag onto the ring road. It also featured control 10 - a tree, not marked on the map - the chosen one was quite non-descript and not particularly close to circle. At first sight ridiculous but I guess there is some story. Only 1 min lost, although it broke my momentum and I was a bit pissy with the planner in actual fact should probably think of this as time saved. There was also the biggest 1m crag in the world perhaps the '0' had gone missing.

Oldbury Court 11 x 2 mins with 90 secs - cloudy so temperature and running conditions excellent and session went pretty well

BOK Run Hawksbury Upton - quite hilly and felt a bit rough at start of run but ok towards end . Nice sunny evening - I do like running in the Cotswolds it was a spectacularly beautiful evening - a good to be alive run

Hot afternoon so ran quite late in the day from Swineford. Despite heat ran quite hard back from the Round Hill. Stopped for a couple of mins to try to fix a gate -stopped watch. 32 mins to top

Tinsel Trot but from top car park, and with a diversion in Rowberrow.
Conditions nice but underfoot and time returned to nornal
