Scott go on the Grindleford Gallop website, download the Google Maps route and put it into Google earth now theres a hilly route 21 miles too!!! The edale skyline is one I fancy doing too. Done most of the GG route in training need to iron out a few more navigational issues before race day.......March 9th. The Mam Tor route is lovely on a sunny day when the mist is in the valley.

Well done mcs. I haven't been out running for days... But I have done all the Christmas shopping, what feels like most of my family's shopping, made the pud, a stew Boxing day, been to the post office 20 times, decorated the tree, turned the spare room back into a spare room... so am feeling it's been worth not running to get on top of things.

It's our annual carol singing tonight round the village - lovely weather for it!

Wabo, did you geta club place?
This evenings run was awsome! It was chucking it down as we were getting out of the car. Just tne 3 of us. 8 miles in rainy, blustery conditions, not really gotmuch of an idea about splits as my fingers stopped working due to the cold! Absolutely loved it, one of my fave runs in ages!! Oh, and the 3rd step I took was ankle deep in a puddle!

Susan, you would've been proud of my "interval" session tonight. *

After travelling to relatives, It went something like, cuppa, rest, 2 biscuit dash, rest, , biscuit.

Then a short break, moved upto the advanced group, which was wine, food, wine, food, wine, rest, dessert.
