Training - 7 miles

Very boring run tonight, used my 'town' 5 mile route with a short extension out to the Fox at Menston.

Did a bit of 'fartlek', doing my main sprints up Burley Road to the Fox from the back of Ellar Gardens (or whatever its called...), and also up East Chevin Road - always a killer, must be 12.5% gradient, takes about 40 seconds at top speed.....

Only saw one Otley runner out tonight, so must have been a bit early for the 'moonlighters' and, despite by best efforts (Ken!), didn't stumble across any buried treasure, remains of crashed World War Two bombers (complete with skeletal crew), just a long tailback of cars because of the roadworks on the ancient and somewhat historic bridge. Here is a picture, of the bridge that is, not the traffic jam, or rather the weir, the bridge is in the background.....
