Stipperstones Fell Race 18/7/12

AS. Really enjoyable run. The slow weight loss seems to be paying off. Although still not fast, I felt faster going up and seemed to have got back some confidence and speed going down hill. I came in almost two minutes faster than my 2010 time.

Next race is Snowdon International Race in a couple of days. Lets see if I can improve 2010s time again.

Well done John,

I decided to rehome a dog from Hilbrae as my excuse for not turning up.

This means that Ragleth is the one remaining Summer Series Event I can enter.

Here's hoping.
