and here is one of the views from the house over to grange fell (nice).
it'll be great to clear the mind of all the crap (work) and spend some proper time with karen and the kids. oh, and not forgetting a few early morning jaunts up, over and down the surrounding fells with charlie boy (perfect).
so it was fitting that last night i ran one of our local fell runs - goyt's moss - just 7m with 1400ft ascent. only i didnt actually race. i got there an hour early and instead of waiting for the start i decided to head off early (what's a boy to do to win these days!). in my very own race of one i came first and last (of which i'm delighted). i pushed fairly hard though not as hard as if i'd actually raced it (though i did feel like the quarry once the race had officially started). and a few people did ask me if i really was in the lead. even simon bailey gave me a double take as i headed towards the finish (just 25mins after the official start). maybe i should use this idea in every race from now on (tee hee)
well that's all folks for now until i return (though hopefuly i may be hooking up with hayfella for an easy bimble on the fells whilst i up there).
why the sudden invasion of brackets i'm just not sure (:))
