Friday 16th March and I am making plans for a good long run on Saturday before helping to flag the Winter League on Sunday. However best laid plans and all that. Work takes over and it looks like I will have to do a couple of hours on Saturday morning. Friday night and CC presents me with a list of errends to do after work (for Mothers Day) so I am only going to manage a much shorter run.
Leaving the Kirkstone I head for St Raven's Edge. Passing the 3 new wind turbines behind the inn. Good thing or bad thing? Discuss. I cut around to visit Hart Crag, Pike How (JNC checkpoint) then Stony Cove Pike and Caudale Moor. I check the routes to the little tarn just in case I am every selected to run the Ian Hodgson relay again. Well you have to remain positive! I get home in time to watch England thrash Ireland at rugby on St Patricks Day, excellent!
Sunday dawns clear and bright. I am envious of DW going for a long run. I help flag the Elterwater Winter League route then head home for more Mothers Day duties. Still, a free meal and 3 pints of Hawkshead in rhe Eagle and Child help the mood.
Conclusion: Work, Mothers Day and running do not mix.
Running followed by beer does so next weeks Hawkshead Brewery beer festival provides an ideal opportunity.
