The Kirk

We had a great run last night around Ponden Kirk near Haworth followed by soup, crusty bread and beer at the Old Silent Inn in Stanbury

The run was an 'informal timed training run' of around 3.5 to 4.0 miles with circa 750ft climb. I set off way too fast after feeling strong warming up and as is often the case on these outings ended up off piste, in this case in an area of mini-tussocks and bogs. A group of six or seven of us including a couple of friends from Wharfedale Harriers found the correct path after a few minutes of wandering about, and it didn't seem long before we were all back at the starting point

A very pleasant hour or so was then had by around thirty runners and friends in the Silent, where I had chance, as hoped, to catch up with loads of friends from the FRA forum and various local clubs. After getting home I had the best night's sleep I've had since returning from India, so all told a good evening

  1. Nice one DT, glad you enjoyed, i ran past on the road and saw several lights bobbing about up the road at the side of the embankment. Thanks for the advice re Marathon Training, might get offroad this weekend for a change.
