Awesome day out with great company on the Peaks in some of the worst conditions I have run in in a long time! Driving wind, icy cold and foggy down to about 20 metres visibility in some patches. Rach had planned a long O with long legs to be run together, then pockets of micro type O which we ran at "sprint" intervals. We arrived late so I set off with Jo and Jenny, and then after the second micro O they went back in and I headed out across the moorland to try and catch the boys to finish it off. We had some good fun until going over the crest at Burbage where we were met with blasting wind, our hands and mouths stopped working and we decided to call it a day. Did about 12km of the 16.6 Rach had planned, but loved every minute of it. Took the first bit easy but then had to run quite hard to catch the boys and stick with them, and I felt ace, still strong by the end. This is what it's all about!
The bath this evening was amazing though!
