Saturday - Andy, Kieren and Elliott
A beautiful Winter's (late!) morning greeted us on arrival and after loading up our backpacks, we managed a pretty comfortable 2 laps (14.5 miles) of the park with a little hiccup towards the end with Kieren's calf playing silly buggers. Needless to say we all enjoyed the hot chocolate at the end of the day as the temperatures dropped.
Sunday - Andy, Elliott and guest appearance from John Widdowson
Aiming for the double-double, and with Kieren at home icing his calf, Elliott and Andy roped John into getting the run started and he duly dragged our tired legs and slightly hungover heads around the first lap. John then wisely departed leaving the other two to complete the second lap and finish what was a very satisfying weekend of running - 29 miles in two days and both feeling tip-top.
Next weekend Andy's our last man standing for the Brecon Beacons 40 mile ultra with Ben, Elliott and Kieren all out. Good luck in the hills Andy! The rest of us will be thinking of you...
