The weather forecast was for showers so we thought we might get washed off the crag if we went climbing, and with so much more training required to be ready for the Rab MM in September (especially after being scared silly by the amazing amount of ground covered by Rachel & Richard last weekend during the Saunders MM) we decided to go for a run. Thing is, mostly I find running to be very hard to motivate myself for – it’s such hard work – I have to add an extra incentive, Letterbox treasure…

No ‘action’ running photos – are you sure you didn’t just stroll?!
There was certainly some walking going on. 😉
Ice breaker tops are really nice, but they do tend to get holes quite easily! Love the sculptures. I had a 1hr40 run along the canal and around the fields this morning… so no great mileage for me this weekend you’ll be glad to hear
1 hr 40 mins for you is about the same as my stroll to the letter box (5 mins) – although just at the moment, that would be a real marathon – I’ve got rather painful Gout!
too much port? 😕 Mmmmm port is yummy.
What a weird place! But probably more fun than “running” through the undergrowth round Thirlmere; not a recommended route, it took 3 hrs to do under 11 miles!!!! (Ok for a walk though).
I wondered if you had done the mountain bike route there with us? The North Face trail?

Some of the sculptures are right next to the bike trail, but I didn’t realise that when we were on the bikes.
