Training Log Archive: Frostbite

Walking - Knaresborough Round (most of it anyway). Horrible miserable grey wet cold day. I was short of time and all the paths were mudbaths, so I did a fair bit of jogging in the first half because it was the only way of making progress. Cut out a loop of a couple of miles towards the end because I was running out of time. 18 miles 4 hours and 10 minutes.

Wildlife notes - On a track going east from Scotton, the pond in a farmer's field had swelled to 100 metres across and the track was knee deep in water. I had no choice but to wade through, and part way across I nearly stepped on a goldfish. It was alive, swimming about near the edge of the track. I have never nearly stepped on a goldfish while out walking before.

Parkside, Lawnswood, Shaw Lane. Hard work. This is the hilliest run I have done for a while and I was ok on the hills but very tired by the end.

Weetwood Lane, Lawnswood. A bit quicker, no happier. Getting close to my limit I think.
