Tough running

After last Sunday's canelled 15 mile run I was keen to make amends this morning, and do a tougher run than the 15 miler two weeks ago.

This morning's run took three hardy souls (Chris and Alan are pictured) from Longridge near Preston. Now anyone who knows Longridge will be aware that to get out of the town you go steeply up or steeply down. And if you want to do a 15 mile loop that brings you back to Longridge you will encounter hills.

And that is what we got. Hills, hills and more hills.

I'm never going to be the fastest runner in the world but I am getting stronger.

The blip is from the top of Jeffrey Hill. Some days we get magnificent views, others we get snow. But today was different again. The line across the top part of the blip is separating two layers of cloud. Shortly after I took this we headed downhill so we were running through the lower layer of cloud.
