Hobbling round
Bog Trotting
Very heavy going and the aformentioned head injury and a general feeling of 'thank god it's the last one before Christmas' I didn't really enjoy the run. The route was extremely boggy in parts and very slippery in others. All this rain over the past few weeks has left the ground saturated. I took a couple of falls along the way and I don't think I was the only one. The last one across the final moorland stretch was as a result of stepping one foot into a bog hole past the knee. As usual I wasn't last but not very far off it. I think I'm going to take a rest.
Thanks to the Allen Valley Striders who, despite having one of the worst web sites I know of in the sport, put on a very professionally run and friendly race on Sunday.

Congratulations, that sounds like a very tough one! I did pick up an entry form from Northern Runner but wasn’t free that weekend. It sounds like I had a lucky escape.
Thanks for the congrats but I don't think 2:18 for 10 mile is really deserving of it.
