16 mile route from Ilam in the White Peak, with Tony and Paul. Another decent day - once we got going it was pretty warm, except at the top of Ecton when the windchill was noticeable.

Hills didn't feel as bad as I remembered - but had a 45 mile ride in the legs last time we did this route in May. Fair bit of mud made some of the scrubby/wooded descents a bit treacherous, and the limestone was slippery - all good practice, but slowed things down a fair bit.

Feeling pretty good through Wetton and across to the Dove (2h30+ in) - running smoothly, not working too hard, and then we hit the hard surface of the path by the Dove. Muscles felt heavy in this section - not able to cope with the extra shock from the rocky surface, given they eased off again across the fields at the end?

6 months to the LAMM - aim in spring is to be able to do one of these runs and feel comfortable at the end.

Token attempt at some circuits-like exercises while dinner was cooking. Confirmed non-existence of upper body strength...

Easy club run over Sinai - felt pretty comfortable, no idea of actual moving time.
