My old body can no longer stand the stresses of serious training but I still enjoy running for fun and fitness. So glad you're back racing and blogging - and long may it continue.

Love it now - but not on concrete!<br />It rained every bit of the weekend, still raining today, and snow is forecast from tomorrow night. Everywhere is waterlogged and the River Wharfe is a raging torrent. Your trail race (Lantern Pike?) could be a bit squishy.

I think a rest this time of year is a great idea to prepare for the summer! My insomnia usually starts at 3:30 on the dot each day! ( they keep on about 8 hrs sleep! Chance would be a fine thing! 5 hrs is good!!) Enjoy and accept the rest, return refreshed and keen, walk in that beautiful countryside you have, keep blogging your pictures of the wild life....... Must be time for another pot of tea ( or coffee) nice morning here, sun streaming through the windows.
