Change of plans this morning so headed out to the EBOR local event at Skipwith Common, a great little area which I have never run on. Dead flat with a mix of runnable forest, semi open and open with lots of marshes, just like Strensall, but it was very wet today, so not easy to see any difference between marsh and non-marsh.

Felt very tired after yesterday and a very late night and struggled to concentrate, so just ran on my compass most of the time. I made one big mistake where my mind wandered half way along a leg and I had no idea at all where I was - I couldn't even remember what I had run past, or where I had been. Not so easy as I remember it, this orienteering lark.

C • 3am 5

Jogging about. Feeling a lot better, but still coughing and sniffling a lot. No ill effects from the run though.

Still under the weather and had lots of last minute organising to do for the film event. Had a long and tiring, but very enjoyable day at the cinema.

Bit better today, visited Park Hill flats to hear a presentation on the redevelopment, then worked till late sorting stuff out for tomorrow.

Feel pretty rough today - throat feels bad and head full of gunk. No chance of training.

Spoon lane run with a sore throat. Not feeling any worse after yesterday so decided to get out again. Took it fairly easy and seems to have perked me up a bit...

I needed some purpose this morning so I headed up Rivelin on a convoluted sort of route to track down Neil and Pete's roving box. I located it successfully after groping around in the wrong dung-filled nook for a bit. I have to say, I am impressed by the effort you guys have gone to, I'm glad I finally got round to hunting it down.

C • bout time! 17

IW with my pack the heaviest I can remember. Busy day at work today so no chance for more training. Rest day it is.
