Standard warm up

NGOC Middle Race at Knockalls. Started fine if slowly over slippery and steep hillside. All went pretty well and in control to 13 where I made a faff but did not lose much time, however did make a complete horlicks of the next one (2+ mins) which was a shame because otherwise quite pleased. Nice to do a different discipline.
The weather has changed and it was a bright clear frosty winters day, good to be out

Run with Alice (no Mark as he has sprained ankle) from Chepstow Leisure centre. North out along Wye way then back through fields.
Nice run through new terrain. I just had a little ankle turn on some rocky steps but it ran off

Blaise Castle -very muddy and so slipping around in quite flat shoes, running quite hard particularly later on. Good to be out

Long day out in the forest but by starting early only got soaked at the end.
Ankle quite sore, changed shoes for semi-urban section and better .
Distance and time representative

Standard warm up

West Woods Gallopen. .Some of forest is now quite rough but other areas still a delight, Race mostly ok got screwed up in some horrible grot on a long leg late on, when a round path route which I spurned would have suited me better
Course quite enjoyable but actually a couple of Km short which was a shame as I was quite enjoying it!
