i've heard about the last few miles being steep and slippy. maybe some new shoes would be sensible but have decided to stay with my fav shoes. they will have clocked up 500 miles by race time. talked into racing regional 5.4k road relays yesterday and have survived that with sore legs but today is rest day so should be ok for long run on monday. next up macclesfield in 2 weeks. what races have everyone else got before snowdon.

Macc is a good one for Snowdonia practice - lots of hills along the way.

Congleton Half is also worthwhile - now why do they call it The Sting in The Tail? Www.tinyurl.com/Congleton ;-)

I think we're just about due a sunny Snowdonia this year. If it's like it is today....
