Just a steady one

Lovely day again, but a busy day telling people they've got to apply for their jobs, so by the end of it I was ready to get some exercise.  Usual spot in Silsden, with The Herb - just a nice 3 miles out and back.  We decided to carry on along the canal a bit further, before cutting back down to the road, as the towpath's nice and dry.

This proved to be an entertaining excursion as I didn't realise there's two bridges between Riddlesden and Silsden, so we ended up ratching about in some fields rather than jogging down a tarmac lane as I expected.  This added about a third of a mile to the run, so we ended up with 6.3m in just over 50 minutes, with the pace generally being about 7:45.  HR was very low again, apart from a daft spike when it jumped to 170 or so - hope this isn't another strap going wonky...



Out at night to sit in a completely empty Aagrah as everyone else was watching the football (which was dire, apparently).  Then one or two beers, the effects of which I hope have worn off by tomorrow as it's Freckleton HM - probably going to be too warm to run fast (although it's bloody freezing today, so maybe my sub-80 will have to wait til the winter - but a nice sub-85 run would be nice.

  1. Best of luck at Freckleton, Andy. Remember your cap, sunglasses, sun screen, neck protection and cash for the beer in the club house afterwards! Think the wind will be behind you from 9 miles to finish.
    Have a good one!
