Sunday 3 March 2013

Today I ran the Lode 10k route with the extension of Quy Fen and Allicky Farm.  Just under 8 miles in 1 hour 08:32.

Skylarks were heard just before Anglesey Abbey and again in the fields after Lodestar.  A sparrowhawk flew across the track just after Allicky Farm and a Kestrel was seen in Station Road.

Cambridge parkrun.  Conditions were good wit the tracks being farily dry.  My best time this year at 22:20.

Sunday 9 December 2012

The 9 mile route to Swaffham Bulbeck.  Again windy coming back - finished in a slightly slower time of 1 hour 17:57.

Tuesday 4 December 2012

A morning run to Bottisham again.  A slow time today of 48:23.

December 2012

During the winter months the choice of routes is restricted due to the dark mornings, wet tracks and icy paths.  I managed the following runs in December:

2 December 2012 - Swaffham Bulbeck, with the inclusion of a loop up the hill at Quarry Lane, a total of 9 miles.  Again a strong head wind coming back to Lode, but a faster time than last week as 1 hour 17:07.

4 December 2012 - A morning run to Bottisham again.  A slow time today of 48:23.

9 December 2012 - The 9 mile route to Swaffham Bulbeck.  Again windy coming back - finished in a slightly slower time of 1 hour 17:57.

11 December 2012 - Still too wet to go anywhere other than along the road/cycle paths so the usual Bottisham loop.  A good time of 45:09.

15 December 2012 - In the hope of seeing some Waxwings (failed unfortunately), I ran along Newmarket road past the airport and then back through Fen Ditton.  Just over 6 miles.

16 December 2012 - Swaffham Bulbeck again in a good time of 1 hour 13:07.

18 December 2012 - Bottsham Loop - 45:07.

23 December 2012 -  Swaffham Bulbeck - 1 hour 16:01.

26 December 2012 - Bottsham Loop - 41:55. A new PB for this route.


30 December 2012 - Swaffham Bulbeck - 1 hour 13:39.
