Headed out on road towards Birkrigg and outside Ulverston cut left and down past Oxleys towards Bardsea and then back to Conishead Priory to watch Will in Xmas Pudding 10k.

Easy jogging around Priory & shouting at runners. Then steady jog back in past Tennis Centre. Under right chest still feels odd and eye still sore.

Kirkby Moor Fell race.
Nice sunny day. Took a few minutes to get my breathing settled by which time the pack were away. Gradually pulled through a few as we climbed onto the fell and managed to keep running until almost to the cairn at #2. Heading across to #3 Lyns called out and realised she was still behind me. Slowed a little and we ran together through #3 and along to Shooting House Hill at #4.
Coming off the ridge my chest didn't feel too good and Lyns ran away. I didn't climb well to the gate and across the road and up to the trig point - too much walking into #6. Descent okish but right before came off fell at #8 I slipped and fell into marsh grass and scratched right eye. Hammered down road but not happy with finish as Lyns beat me by 30secs to a minute. More work needed.
Eye really painful rest of day.

Night Score - Helsington Church. Found 15/20, spiked 12/15.
Nice clear evening.

#20 Green scrub now down to wall so had to crawl back out and around
#5 Rushing near end

UVHS Session - only Graham, Tilly, Fiona and Alex turned up.
Out to Croftlands to run short/long loops.

After JK2015 meeting parked at top of Bigland and did normal loop over footpaths dropping down to Brow Edge, then climbing Haverthwaite Heights. Path on far side of deer gate badly overgrown with bramble - needs some "gardening". Once into Haverthwaite and Low Wood thought I might manage to beat 75mins but feeling sluggish throughout.
Need to attack loop more.
