Bank Robber Run

Well, normally when I have a week off work I get plenty of runs in, but this week just didn't work out that way. The weather has been poor all week really (windy every day and wet most of the time too) and it just was not on the cards, but I got plenty of work done in the garden, spent some great time with friends and with Jasper Badun, treated myself a little and got out on the fells once or twice too.

Friday I ventured up Striding Edge on my own and I don't think I would want to do it again without company. It was a bit hairy at times and I would have much preferred having someone else to be scared with! Enjoyed it though, like a funfair ride - it wouldn't be as much fun if it didn't scare the hell out of you at least a bit.



Anyway, back to today and my legs are still feeling it - ten mile walk in itself is not biggie, but the clambering and scrambling has made it's presence known in my quads ever since! Despite this, it is my last day of the hols and so I am going to get a run in. It will be a run/walk affair, but I don't care. It's still more than a lot of people do, and it makes me feel so much better.

Gimme all the munny.

Decided to take a different route - well, an old route but done in reverse so I run downhill first half mile, which is a good warm up and then up through Hensingham and back down onto the Highlands. Had to walk up Hensingham, mainly due to my legs not wanting to play rather than anything else. No real lung trouble as I had taken the precaution of wearing a bandana - apparently making me look like a bank robber. Do I care? Not particularly. I know I look a plonker, but I also don't care about getting my legs out even though I have appalling knees! Haha!

Happy days. Now I gotta take Jasper out and do some more gardening despite the howling winds and heavy rain. Gotta love Summer....where the heck is it??!
