Down to Hunters Bar.

With Ben S. From Fox House, Burbage top path, Stanage, Pole, Redmires, Wyoming Brook and home via top path. Making the most of the weather! Longest I have run since before Easter but nice easy pace. Bit dehydrated near the end. Need to charge up my garmin and start using it again.

Gorgeous evening in Rivelin.

Grindleford Fell Race. Pretty tired after standing up all day helping at open day. 2 laps of the field at the start then straight up a narrow path through Hay Wood. Single file and a slow walking pace as there were so many people and I started pretty near the back of the field. Started running at the top; such a nice evening. Not really trying that hard and taking it easy on the rocks down through Padley Gorge. Very enjoyable :)

To Matt's house and then a bit in Grindleford with Poppy and Beth. Bit pointless though as they then delayed the start.

2 middle courses on Blacka Moor. First time running in terrain for a long time. Really pleased that my ankle managed it. No pain although it felt noticeably weak near the end. Still not confident at all going down hills but that will come as it strengthens more. Definitely an area to come back to in the winter.

Sprintervals down at Don Valley. 2 normal sprint loops, 1 line course and a mass start at the end. Orienteering pretty well, running well on the first 2 loops then started to lose a little speed. Quite similar to last years sprintervals here so recognised quite a bit of it.

Forest sprint/middle course at Bowden Housteads. Undergrowth not as bad as expected. Missed out a couple of controls which didn't look particularly pleasant to get to. Good fun.

Still not quite recovered. Feeling very hot and routes which are normally easy took a lot of effort.
