A nice relaxing run with Ruby-Tuesday this morning.
We ran along to the barn, then out onto Sheephouse Lane and up to the Pigeon Tower car park. From there, we zigzagged up through the terraced gardens, coming out at the Pigeon Tower. We then ran up the Pike and I nearly broke my promise of always having to run but not because I was tired but because it was so icy and I wasn't wearing my Orocs today. I ended up climbing the grass to the left of the steps as that was far less icy and I did manage to run it all without walking. It would have been awful to break my promise on the last day of the year!
We took the curly route down from the Pike as Ruby was, once again, in one of her incredibly annoying moods where she kept crossing my path and tripping me up. Part way down, for some strange reason, my Garmin lost satellite reception. I kept running but it wouldn't clock up my mileage. I hope this isn't the start of yet another problem with this 610! Normally, I wouldn't care and would just continue running home but it's the last day of the month and I hadn't reached my 200k (125 mile) Strava challenge goal so I needed to make sure I reached it. I reset the watch and switched it off and back on and it then found a satellite so we continued on our way (hence two Strava links below) and I'm pleased to say that I achieved the 125 mile goal.
Well, that's it. Goodbye 2014 and hello 2015, hope all your running goals are reached this next year!
Happy running!
Total distance - 5.6 miles
