Turton and Entwistle reservoir run again - 4.6.11

The run on Thursday out to Wayoh reservoir and Turton and Entwistle was that enjoyable I felt the need to run the same route again.
So at 2.00pm off I trotted.
Right from the off I felt quite tired after a longish (12 mile run) on Thursday, but I was feeling OK.
The first half of the run is quite easily runnable.
This took me to the feeder streams of Wayoh reservoir.
I had contemplated running further today, round all the reservoirs which would have added about another 4 miles to the run. However I decided to run the same route as Thursday to see what time I would run on my own. (And I was quite tired and sore)
After running around Wayoh Res I took the same route back.
This section I found quite hard today.
The climbs were tough! - Still enjoyable though.
The last big climb, from the copse of trees to Hog Lowe Pike was hard.
The last couple of miles was again quite runnable.

About 12 miles, clocked in at 2 hours 6 minutes. That was 26 minutes quicker than Thursdays run!
A great run, a great route and one I'll be looking forward to running again.
