Spent day working in garden, and then shelling broad beans whilst watching WOC relays.
Womens 3rd leg was mental!
Right calf stiff and sore.

From Gummers How car park - over ridge and through farm & down slope. Right calf muscle spasmed after stone barn. Immediately stopped & walked out to road & back to car park. Grey clouds overhead and cool without being cold - maybe need socks - just shorts a problem? Probably also a lack of stretching after Wednesdays run around High Dam.

Walk back to car along raod.

Out along coast road, then past power station and turn inland by farm. Cool with cloud cover. Back around edge of Dalton, then head towards Lindal, Loppergarth and Rossside and back through town.

30 lengths. Shoulder eased as progressed - managed to put arms through backpack at end!

Down in Finsthwaite in morning - no liquids or food in.
Started from High Dam car park at 1.30pm, round back trails to upper dam and then out on moor and permitted paths around towards Rusland. Along Ellersiide & walked up slope to Boretree Tarn - felt I'd run out of energy after 60-70mins. Hard to get jogging again as day wamer and plenty of bracken across trails after yesterdays rain. Sore calves and feet with wearing inov8 X-Talon 190 - light & great in wet but not a lot of protection from rock jarring.

Rainy all day - watched WOC sprint - sold house - collected KT and then went for jog fom Haverthwaite, Fishouse Lane and back in along embankment in late afternoon sunshine.

Start in basement - left bicep still sore.

Out with John Bett past Old Hall farm & along to Gawthwaite, Lowick, East of lake to Coniston. Stopped at Bluebird Cafe.

After waiting 10mins to get served and queue not moving, abandoned & carried on to Torver & Blawith & Greenodd & home. Blustery but no rain. Last I'll see of John for 3 weeks as he's off to World Masters Cycling Champs in Austria with Annie Plant.
