(((Linds)))

Are a massive Lebanese platter last night that was wonderful but far, far too much. Slept terribly as a result and am now irrationally convinced I have put the 5kg back on.

In any case, I should run c21k tomorrow starting and ending in Durham and not getting lot. Any tips? How far does the river path go?

Morning all. Hope your shoulder feels less painful this morning Linds.

Can't say about the river path I'm afraid ITG, I've only walked round the loop around the city.

I would like to ride a recce of the tri cycle route this morning but it's doubtful if I'll get it in before the rain and high winds arrive :-(

Morning all.

Shoulder is still ouchy but nowhere near as bad.

A day that was already complex has become super complex with the need to take LittleD to the GP. Sigh.

And I'm sure staying in bed yelling at Billy is going to make it less complex.

Hope LittleD is OK, Linds. Plan yourself a treat for tomorrow xx

Morning all. Looking forward to a relatively quiet weekend, a parkrun, lots of walking with Poppy and George and maybe even a horse ride, if the weather is kind.

Happy Friday, peeps!

ITG - similar to LD's experience, one of my daughters was there for 4 years as a student and then 2 more working for the uni - so I got lots of fun on the A34 & M1 each way ...

The river path becomes the Weardale Way outside of the main stretch through Durham itself, and you can go as far as you like. I have not gone much more than about 5 miles out of Durham, but assume its runnable, South is more river and country trail, north is mainly trail, but some roads. Bing maps gives an OS view if you want to check it.

Or there's some old railway paths about 1 mile west of Durham - Lanchester one way and Brandon - Bishop Auckland the other. Also as long as you want and on Bing OS.

Or there's Hadrian's Wall if you've got transport ...

Morning all. I felt rather off colour last night - ditched running and sat and felt sorry for myself all evening. Better this morning so got myself out for a little 5k in lovely spring weather. Happy Friday everyone x
