Time please!

I am ok for Saturday, anywhere but would prefer an 8.30 start as I have rotten cross country again in the afternoon and will need to be driving away by noon.

If the snow clears, as has largely happened in Longton, we should hopefully be able to add a few miles to our progress of late. It was good to get out for a decent training run today with only a limited amount of ice and slush to contend with. Having feared that the slow progress through the snow was going to take the edge off our speed it was encouraging to manage a faster pace than recent averages.

A trailer for next Monday's Inside Out programme (BBC 1, 7.30) referred to a runner attempting to complete 72 miles and 42 peaks in the Lake District. Sounds like a BG to me.
