With Matt and Mark, from Mark's place in Bath, out of town and up a hill on the edge of the Cotswolds. It was warm and lovely and we got some nice views. Then down the ridge and back into Bath.

Saw the Stone Henge, finally!!! It was cool.
And saw a few other stones in fields and chalk horses on hillsides.

9 x 1min hill reps in Roundhay Park. Tough session but I felt better afterwards and was running further in the later reps. Was going to do 10 but the "encouragement" I was getting from a group of yobs that decided to sit halfway up my hill and watch me was not what I needed today and so I called it quits at 9.

10mins warm-up, recoveries, 5mins jog home.

Drove out to Eccup Reservoir and ran around it for a bit, then tried to get on some tracks in the valley but couldn't get to them (in the end I decided it was private property). Ran along a bridleway and came across the cute little village that is the Emmerdale set (cunning as it's not marked on the map!). Down towards Harewood House and then back via a different bridleway to the other end of Eccup Reservoir. The reservoir wasn't very nice, and nor was the loop I did. I'm sure there are better loops one could do in that area.
