On the Road Again

Intended to do the London Marathon Training run from Hemel today but left it too late so I went out and did this on my own (saving a few quid in the process):






Calf muscles were a bit tight towards the end. More miles required.

High Peak Marathon Recce

Being a sucker for punishment I've somehow ended up entering the High Peak Marathon (42 miles of bogs, heather and rocks at night) as part of a four person team (with Clare, Paul and Will from Goyt Valley Striders). So, in an attempt to get a feel for what we've let ourselves in for (well me anyway, the rest have done it previously) we decided to recce the more interesting middle section of the route. Will was supposed to be with us but he opted to go to California instead. Can't imagine why.

This is the route:





This is the fly through:

A grand day out. Let's hope it'll be a grand night out.
