I met up with the guys at the bottom barn this evening for a 'recovery run'. I thought that I would be tired after running nearly 24 miles yesterday but I was actually really lively. Well, after warming up a bit anyway. At first, my legs felt really heavy but so did Josie's as she had done the Fellsman (61 miles) at weekend so we did a bit of walking up the hill to the Pike.
After the Pike though, I came alive and manage to run all the way up to Two Lads and the mast.
On top of the mast, we got chatting to an Irish bloke, who had been involved in erecting the mast back in the day and this was the first time he had been back to it since. He kept us chatting for ages whilst Joc dealt out the, much welcome, Percy Pigs.
We started to get cold so had to make our apologies to the old bloke and carry on on our way. I had a good run down the diagonal and, according to Strava, it was my best time and has put me second on the leaderboard but I'm not sure how, given that I stopped before getting to the bottom and leisurely chatted to Josie. Maybe the segment is slightly short and doesn't reach the bottom?
No cakes awaited me back at the barn. We need to sort that one out. Bring back cake!!!
Total distance - 6.1 miles
