July 18th, 2007 — draycott double, hoylake, meols, running
Met up with the most improving Meols runner this lunchtime for our first session together. I’ve called this post the Draycott Double because I ended up running both of Chris’s current circuits - his prom circuit and his water works circuit.
Starting at the apex of the bowling green I ran to met Chris at his house (2.42km, double it to give 4.84km for the prom circuit). Then we did his Water Works circuit (4.74 km in 23.24 = 12.15 kph). Then we had a chat in the sun in his garden and then I ran back home again.
Of course I left my watch running - so it’s been going for over 8 hours now, killing the battery no doubt. Stats are cocked then!

July 11th, 2007 — allotment-red rocks, hoylake, running
Walked youngest around to dancing. Ran down to plot 69. Watered stuff and then ran down to Red Rocks on yet another windy day. Legs are currently stiff as heck.
As I started from the bottom of Hoyle Rd I reckon that adds a few metres to this circuit.

Out before 9 this morning for a Red Rocks run. As I’ve said before I’m bloody awful first thing -not enough caffeine probably.
Lovely morning for it anyway and it must have been warm ‘cos I was sweating cobs when I got back.

June 13th, 2007 — allotment-red rocks, hoylake, running, weather
Had intended to go out at lunchtime for a longer run but it was raining and to be honest I didn’t fancy getting a soaking today. So I left it until late afternoon - when it was raining!
Bit of a combo run. Ran down to the plot first to water the greenhouse plants and then continued my run down to Red Rocks. Cut it short on the way home to borrow a wooden pallet out of a skip in the Community Centre car park (pallets are useful for making compost bins down on the plot).
Got a bit wet but mustn’t grumble as it hasn’t rained since the last bank holiday.
I’ll update the stats when I find my watch.

Even though I went out late afternoon when the sun wasn’t too strong it was still very warm. I was already hot from doing a weeding session down on the allotment and after a ploddy run to Red Rocks I was sweating buckets.
Not going great today with heavy legs for some reason. Supposed to be cooler for the next few days so I think I’ll do my Wirral Way circuit on Wednesday. Off to the van auctions tomorrow with a mate for a trip out. I’ll be doing a bit of self publicity whilst I’m there too …I’ll be wearing my cardtart.com polo shirt.

June 6th, 2007 — beach road, hoylake, running, statistics
Measured my Beach Road circuit today with the Navman and not to my surprise it’s a bit shorter than I thought.
Previously I’ve had it down as 4.24 km but after checking today it’s 4.10km. That kind of makes sense ‘cos on previous runs when I haven’t been moving, I’ve been a bit surprised at the average speed.
Suppose I should go through my old posts at some point and correct them.
Anyways, not going too bad today on a warm and breezy day. Coopers pace will do.

Another dual purpose run.
Down to the weediest allotment in Hoylake first to water the greenhouse plants and then up to Red Rocks and back home via Barton Road. Warm out, lovely evening.

Managed to find the time to squeeze a short run in. Lovely evening for it too.
Just a short one today - Beach Road circuit, which is the same as doing Red Rocks only you dont run down the bottom of Stanley Road. Not going too great again, but I’m getting a cold and I had a crap nights sleep. Moan, moan, etc

Running Hoylake
May 8th, 2007 — hoylake, red rocks, running
Back out today for the first time in about 10 days. Feel like I’ve got over the chicken pox now - even if I don’t look like I have. A windy old afternoon today and I didn’t argue with it. Even so, I wasn’t going well at all and ended up with a really slow time. Still, I’d rather suffer with the running than with the pox.
