Not good tonight as my hay fever has kicked in much worse today. It is bad this year.
Very frustrating.

Potter Fell
Sunday 23rd June
My planned run for today came a little earlier than expected. I was happily sitting enjoying watching the bowling competition at Staveley when two familiar faces appeared over the wall. DW and KA. They persuade me to go out early. We follow the same route as a run a couple of weeks ago. Not blogged. Potter Tarn, Potter Fell and Brunt Knott. Enjoyable but hard work for me.

Gummers How race
Saturday 22nd June
I manage to get a late entry for this run-row-run-row race. Fun as always mostly coming from the rowing bits. HelmHill do well.

Lakeland 50 First Bit
Sunday 16/06/13
I was planning a run for today but maybe not quite as long as this. CB wanted to recce the first half of the Lakeland 50. Or Pooley Bridge to Kentmere. It was going to be a challenge as I had the extra pressure of having to be home by a certain time.
We were dropped off at 9.17am so were now committed. Everything went well and we had no route finding problems. I had done some of this with DW last year. By the time we reached Haweswater it was getting hot. The run along to Mardale Head could be pleasant but today it seemed never ending. With Gatescarth looming ahead.
The climb went slowly for me but CB was going well. The run down to Sadgill took its toll on my knees and the old niggles returned to slow me considerably. After the initial climb we cut the route and went via Skeggles Water and down to finish at my house in Staveley.
5 and a half hours or so. A good pace for the actual event.
And I was home in time.

Training surprise
Wednesday 12th June
Felt good at training tonight. First time for a while.
Have been feeling a but unenthusiastic recently so this is good.
Some bluebells at Rydal. Picture from a couple of weeks ago, just thought I would pop it on here before deleting it. They were better in reality.
