Today it mainly rained. Opted for Eccy Woods to stay sheltered and ran 15x90/30s. Much more successful than the session I tried here about two weeks ago, although things started stiffening up at about half way. 5xhill bounds to loosen up once I got home.

Out to Millstone Inn via Hutcliffe, Totley, Blacka, Higger. Wet and misty but actually quite a nice day to be out; mild with no wind. Very wet underfoot. Back was complaining a little.

Had a long night last night, but not much sleep due to pesky fireworks at midnight, no idea what that was about. Out to Grindleford to meet the family for a slap-up lunch at the caff. Grand.

Eccy woods in the freezing rain. A delight. Actually, I did enjoy this as my legs and body felt great and the running was effortless - maybe I've turned a corner, or maybe I'm about to get ill...time will tell.

That was more like it. From Ringinglow along Houndkirk, lap of Lawrence Field and back. Strong headwind on the way out, skipping along with assistance on the way home. Really enjoyed that, fueled by yesterday's lunch including a bread & butter pudding that was bigger than my head.

Windy but dry, hit the roads for some hills. Didn't find as many as I went looking for, but did slip in an effort on the Coppice along the way. Not feeling it in all honesty, but body behaving itself more or less.

Eccy woods for some hill reps. Approx 150m, 300m, 450m 3x for the set. Felt good once I had got going. Run marred only by Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer on repeat in my head.

Evening jog. Nice and serene in the woods and lost happily in my thoughts.
