Lots of jogging before and after grasmere

Grasmere fell race-

Such a good race, so short and steep and the crowds were amazing, a lot different to the locals get races I'm used to but a really enjoyed it, felt good but not great going up and managed to overtake a few on the decent. Happy with the race after 2 really hard weeks running. Now time for an easy week wooo

A very slow run with Matt to woodland, felt really crappy, definitely ready for an easy week! Highlight of the run - the friendliest dog in the world followed us, thought about stealing her but eventually took her back to her owner

Steady run to keep the legs moving after a stressful day and before a yummy lasagne made by elaine

Long run with Matt, Whetherlam, Swirl how then Wet Side edge, legs felt shocking after yesterday and stomach wasn't loving life but eventually got round

Shipman knott

Had a very quick drive home to get changed after work then straight out to the race. Made it with no time for a warm up or to really think about what was happening and off we went. Still feeling pretty good, started slow and just steadily picked people off and had a good line down so caught quite a few people, overtook the 3rd girl (who happened to be the girl who beat me to 2nd on Saturday) and held her off right till the end until she out sprinted me over the line :-( next time! Such a fun race though and free tea and cakes afterwards are always appreciated

Steady run with Matt up through to woodland and onto the fell. Felt rubbish at the start but as we got going started feeling better. Bonus- managed to fight off lots of cows instead of running away
