Millington Dale and Huggate. Set off with Evie but she decided it wasn't happening after half a mile and turned back. I shortened what I was doing and went as fast as I could round the rest. Pleasant.

Evie used emotional blackmail to force me out for a run with her. I didn't think I would survive but I turned out to be ok, and my calf got better as the run went on. Chapel Allerton and Weetwood at a reasonable steady pace.

Ploddy plod to Stairfoot Lane trig. Struggled to find it even though it is right next to the road. It is hidden behind a tree if you are approaching from Adel Crag.

My calf was fine while I was running but a few minutes after I stopped it became very stiff and painful. Probably best to ignore it, it just wants attention.

Scott Hall trig and Tunnel How Hill trig. Scott Hall trig is in the middle of a dual carriageway but does have a decent view towards the city centre and away to the south. Tunnel How Hill trig has no view at all, buried in woodland. It was painted bright pink a few years ago but has now faded to a dull red.

Stomach feeling better, legs much worse. Left calf in particular tightened up towards the end and the last mile was a bit painful.

C • Dual carriageway 3

Seven arches and Hollies. Feeling very uncomfortable in the lower stomach area for the last couple of days. Started slowly but got a bit quicker towards the end.
