After a miserable week of gales and rain Claire and I decided to go for a run/walk on the lower fells today...after all you get wet fell running anyway!!
The Latrigg circuit was agreed on and Claire amazed herself by jogging the 2 miles (gently uphill) to where one leaves the riverside path and heads onto Latrigg.....hopefully the value of pacing has also been learnt!! Once fortified by a country slice we slogged uphill into the wind and rain to gain the summit of Latrigg....running the last bit of that as well!
As we were wearing trail shoes as opposed to pure fell running shoes we stayed on the main path all the way down which was run in entirety; 16mins to the road in Keswick...before a stretch out walk through Fitz Park and back to the car........a very good way to spend a rainy day; our first run (for either of us) in quite some time and a good way to build a base fitness level.
