Running Anagram 19- 'RAG19'

The answer to the last anagram was unpretentious; surely a true description of trail fell/ultra running. There's no point in putting on your best gear with all this - it'll be covered in mud very soon. Plus, getting to the finish often feels more important than the time it takes to get there.


Anagram 19: A bit easier

O P I N H C M A

Clue: Any person who gets to the start line of any event, is one of these in my opinion.

Enjoy, any lovers of words.

Any opportunity

Sometimes it can be tricky trying to get the miles in during the school holidays. But, this proved a good way to try and run and get two small people out and about in the sun. Plus stop them cycling too fast down the hills..

More importantly....Dambusters !

One of the many interesting things about this area (I think), is that the Dambusters practised here.

Howden Reservoir

Managed to loop around the second reservoir, through the top of the valley. Amazing views, incredible scenery. The best way to train.

Derwent reservoir, Peak District

Managed to hit the Peak District today....brilliant running. Managed to loop around two of the three linked reservoirs in the Derwent Valley. Stayed mostly on the tarmac ed path, so easy running.

Getting back into running

There's a fair few people around at the moment, who have started running again. After a break from it, for whatever reason, this is such a nice time of year to start. All I can say is, please please keep going - there are at least a million good reasons for doing this.
If nothing else you can take some questionably dodgy pictures on the way. Which is fun in itself.

oh so very happy feet

New trainers to assist with tackling some trails. Good grip through the mud, although they feel a bit snug about the toes. Extremely purple- anyone will see me a mile away. Even better, not caked in filth yet. Lovely.
