Usual in Blaise. Fun times.

In the Mendips, from Burrington Combe. Was a nice loop which involved parts of the Mendip Muddle course. The drizzle wasn't too bad but the wind made things a little chilly. I was in a massive wind tunnel running down Cheddar Gorge and I had brain freeze for most of it, got pretty dizzy. Long Wood(?) was beautiful though and the smell of wild garlic so strong! Back over Beacon Batch and at one point was surrounded by 22 'wild' horses. Later in the run a horse galloped towards me naehing and scared me, I had to make a quick turn down a side path.

Really sleepy. Wine at a work lunch is a really bad idea!! Afternoon was a killer. Super easy run to loosen off the legs, in Blaise for a change.

Didn't want to go so pat on the back for me :)

Warm-up jog from home to the playing fields (8mins), recoveries, jog home. Pretty bloody convenient training venue!

In Blaise (felt rubbish!). I saw lots of orienteers running/walking about - hope they had fun!! :s Saw a control had been chucked in the river which wasn't that surprising :(

In Blaise (felt great!).

Was going to run but then decided to switch rest days with Friday as I had a shit day (the day improved when I got home though, happy birthday Matt!).
