blimey - you're upping the pace recently!
I've been letting things slip a little of late, Bish. Anyway, I did 6.25 miles (not K) on the cross trainer, then was 4.1K into my run when the treadmill packed in, the bastard.

Been very lazy this week. Granted I'm completely out of my routine but I can feel the pounds piling on.

Far too much food going in. :mrgreen:

20km this morning in 2h8m14s, lost half a stone in water weight then get to work to find there were no jam donuts at the Friday breakfast. Livid!

Anyone else at Leverhulme tomorrow?

I decided I like doing my long runs on Friday mornings as it means I can eat and drink what I want Friday night :D

Nice to meet Beefheart Sheeran yesterday morning.
Managed to get round Bolton 1:10 quicker than I got round Heaton Park post piss-up with LeverEnd last week. Strange that!

Beautiful evening for a run last night. Nice sedate 6 mile trot round Rivington and Yarrow reservoirs with a mate. Very enjoyable.

Where are we doing tomorrow, Chaps?

EDIT: The bunch of Pikeys that forced the postponement of Wednesday's Decathlon 5K have now left LHP apparently.
