Weekend 11th and 12th of April 2010

Saturday the 10th will be a bit of a party at our house, hence I'm expecting a slow get up Sunday!

The plan for tomorrow is ...

Sunday afternoon and a gentle, yet longish run from Clough Head Car Park.
From the car park, through the gate next to the shop and up the first hill to 'The Rossendale Way' path, turn right and away we go along RW to the farm parallel to 'The Farmers Glory' back along the path at the top until the 'Big Dip' a steep gully on Ossy Moors that you wouldn't know was there unless you fell down it. Play around in there for a bit. Stay on top back towards Clough Head Car Park, passed there and back on to the RW. Cross Graine Road and straight over to the moors on the side of the reservoirs. Followed the RW on to the hill with the trig point, stay on top passed the reservoirs until the chimney back round in front of the reservoirs back over the hill and back to Clough Head Car Park.

Between 13 and 15 miles I reckon.

So that was the plan, now for reality!
Late party night didn't help.
Ran at 6.15pm with Dave managed just over half the planned route, (the hilly part!) legs pretty tired, going for the full route next Sunday.
20mins exercise bike at 8.00pm

Heart rate monitor for the run read - 61mins, Avg HR 139 Max HR 158, approx 7 miles (felt harder than that.)
