3 runs in one day

OK so two of them were only 2.5 miles each but I was impressed with my motivation. After the ride on Sunday I wanted to get out running on Monday, but had physio after work (last session!) so decided to run in along the coast (2.5 miles) from where I park the car. I then obviously had to get back to the car after work, so ran back, then after physio, went up to Kirkland and checked out Leg 4 of the British Fell Running Relays that are happening in October.

I've run on these fells before, but not that much, and don't know them that well. I'm down to do the nav. leg so I know I need to get out in the area to get my bearings. Its not easy terrain to navigate on in the mist!! I eventually left the car at 6:30 and trotted over the course. By now my legs were feeling a little heavy, and I wanted to make sure that I didn't just blast over the course without looking around!! There was a lovely light on the fells as a front was moving in from the west, although it got 'darker' inland first. The leg is fast running with a sting in the tail, which I have to admit hurt a bit!

Total mileage: 10.7 miles, Ascent: not worked out yet probably ~ 1600'
