Running 1:25:00 [3]
shoes: adidas swoops
Met Gareth at Hunters Bar and we ran up Endcliffe on lots of little paths I didn't even know existed. Popped out up at Ringinglow and down Limb Valley and through Eccy Woods. Saw Paul Faulkner (2 points) again and having the points this time. 21 total. Cracking day and cleared my bad head slightly - wasn't surprised that Neil couldn't make it down. We came up with a great idea for a running knock-out tournament based on cops and robbers, or at least it seemed it at the time.

Note
(rest day)
A great chilled day in the barmy heat of Sheffield. My achilles was a bit sore after yesterday so made the tough decision not to run today. Rocked up to Neils, threw a steak on the barbie and enjoyed the good times.

Orienteering 57:00 [4]
shoes: adidas swoops
The bad news for Neil is that I should be ok for EOC. Decided that cos Greno didn't do my achilles any harm, then Eccy Woods wouldn't either. Fished out a course Nick had planned me with 50 controls and did o-reps (7 controls hard, 3 easy). Whilst it still ached, I didn't notice it when I was navigating as much and it never got any worse. Felt quite fresh. The old map is pants - yet to see the new map.
Running 21:00 [3]
shoes: adidas swoops
Between my car and the start. Ice, nurofen and stretches are working well. Not gonna run in my trail shoes any more and gonna try and stick to soft ground for the time being. Or just not run.

Running 20:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Damflask. 10mins steady warm-up overtaking lots of joggers, 1x90sec rep fairly hard, 9.5mins hobble (trying to stay ahead of aforementioned joggers so I didn't look like a tit). Achilles was pretty bad. Dangled it in the lake while Gracie did a proper session. The lake was cold.

Running 1:10:00 [3]
shoes: Nike Air Zoom Vomero +2
Very gentle cruise through Botanical gardens, up Endcliffe, up Crimicar and back along top of Rivelin. Achilles still sore.
Orienteering (Greno) 35:00 [3]
shoes: jalas o-shoes
Just a cruise round Greno with the usual misses on the bingo controls. Nice evening and mainly nice woods so happy, especially in that if Neil had followed me nice and steadily from 9 onwards he would have won, but instead he took some silly routes and made a big cock up of the last control and ended up losing. Hahahaha.
Running warm up/down 5:00 [2]

Running 1:11:00 [3]
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Old skool Rivelin. Legs not tired, but heavy. Felt like a right punter.
Running warm up/down 54:00 [2]
shoes: Nike Air Zoom Vomero +2
3x18min jogs - the first with Gracie to Rivelin before she did some intervals, the second round Rivelin while Gracie did some intervals, and the third back from Rivelin with Gracie after she'd done some intervals. Nice long rests in between sat on a bench looking at ducks and doing some stretches (achilles a bit sore). I'm sure Sprotty won't mind me claiming 1 point for Neil in his window watching TV. Total 20points now.

Running 1:10:00 [2]
shoes: Brooks Cascadia Pivot
Cracking sunny day in Snowdonia. Unfortunately that on a bank holiday means tourist-tastic. Couldn't park at Pen-y-pas so parked lower down and ran up there with Gracie. Started off up Snowdon but heart wasn't in it so had a sit up by the lake and sunbathed and ate sweeties. Such a nice day.
