Tough week so far. Worked nights and got seven hours sleep in two days. Good practice for the Lakeland 100 but not great for work, home and training. Still, there's plenty of people that would swap with me if they had the chance so I shouldn't complain.
Missed Tuesday's five but did the Loamhole Dingle eight miler in the dark last night. Good practice running off road when you can't see and all you've got for company are the tawny owls.
I'll get five in this morning before I go to work and then it's the Pontesbury Potter on Saturday (13 miles) and then a training run on the Long Mynd (20) on Sunday with my mate Gary. Mmm, Barry and Gary - it has a certain ring to it. I'll be testing out the GPS on Sunday. I've not used one before and it's a recommended piece of kit so I'll have to get used to it. We're going to follow the Stretton Skyline fell race route. I've plugged in the waypoints and the idea is to let the GPS tell me the bearing and distance to the next point with minimum reference to the map. We'll see how we go. If it turns into a night route I'll know to stick to a map and compass.
