6 miles today. Route followed the main road out of Otley to pool. This is mostly unlit so wore my head torch. I have run this road in the dark with no lights but find the on-coming car lights too dazzling. Also, the light is fairly essential climbing Old Pool Bank. This steep, though relatively short climb, gets steeper towards the top and I could very readily have walked. But, stuff like the MdS is as much about mental fitness as physical, so I stuck it out to the top. From then on in it was the very familiar 2 plus miles gentle down hill on the Leeds Road into Otley.
Still chilly, and flecks of rain in the head torch beam looked like sleet. Only passing though.
Rest day tomorrow.
