19 Feb 2009

8.14 miles today 1hr 24 mins ave 5.8mph
Set off out of Manor Road at about 9am and onto sheephill. Past the smelly greyhound kennels feeling rather nautious at the stench. powered up the hill to the mini roundabout, trying out my new technique of sprinting up and using my elbows to help with the momentum. Continued along Lancaster Lane at a decent pace to the Hayrick and turned left. Down the hill to the Tracey's garage and then up again to the golf club. Crossed the lights in good time and continued to pack saddle bridge where a 4 x 4 nearly ran me over in his haste to beat the lights. Cheeky bugger! He wasn't even attempting to stay on the left side of the road.
Onward and upward past the Railway and on to the Bay horse. Turned left up Euxton Lane down and up again! past the old ROF munitions factory where mum used to work and is now a college and business park (hope they got all the bombs out). Uphill again to Chorley hospital and left up the A6 towards home. managed to avoid the short cut by a whisker although I was tempted. On up the hill past the Shell garage and down Sheep hill lane back home.
Post run strawberry and banana smoothie and scrambled egg on toast.
Good news on the scales. I'm down to 10st 11 now. Hammock 1and now a rest.
