An easy six miler was on the training plan today after our exertions on the Pike yesterday, although I felt really good and so ended up doing a little bit more.
We ran along the edge of Rivington Reservoir and then along to the bowling club and down to Dean Brook where we turned back on ourselves and ran along the brook, up the steps and out onto Rivington Green. We then went up Sheephouse Lane all the way to the Pigeon Tower car park, then up to the Pigeon Tower via 'the driveway'. From there we ran along George's Lane and then down the path at the side of Wilderswood, which is the route down from the Two Lads race.
Due to the awful weather lately, there were a couple of trees down along this path. The first one was down right across the path and we had to climb over it. The second one, near to the turn off to Brinks Row, wasn't fully down and we had to go underneath it, which was quite scary as it was still blowing a gale and I was afraid it would fall completely whilst we were running under it. I stopped to take a picture but, due to my poor camera skills and the fact that I couldn't work out how to get the flash to work, it didn't turn out too well.
No running tomorrow as having a good rest and some yoga to get me nice and fresh for Sunday’s race which is the first one of this year’s Central Lancs Grand Prix. I'll probably go for a long walk with Ruby though so, if it's interesting enough, I might post about it.
Total distance - 7 miles
