Heading up into the mist after the first couple of climbs, a long runnable section to follow
Just after the Minton Batch CP and now the race really starts! 3 tough climbs and 3 steep descents to the finish
Digging deep up Packetstone Hill...........................nice technique there lass!!!! 
The final part of the ascent up Callow.....COME ON CALDER VALLEY!!!!!
Nearing the top of the final climb up Yearlet.."How much do you want it Kirsten?"!!!!.
.
Still buzzing from the day, although the legs were tired on both of today's runs. Such a great day out, and so much potential to be fulfilled. For someone who only started running less than a year ago, it's incredible what Kirsten has achieved already.
.
Me? I'm just a middle-aged, mid-pack plodder, who can mostly go all day and will occasionally pull a rabbit out of the hat in a race (metaphorically of course, although then again.....it would be fun!). Whereas Kirsten has potential to be an excellent fellrunner, great leg speed, pretty fearless and reads the ground well.
.
So the big question is......."how will I feel when she starts beating me?"!!!! Ooops, no, the big question is, of course, "How much do you want it?" :-)
You are so much more than a 'middle-aged, mid-pack plodder'. You come alive with the prospect of a day on the fells, adrenaline pumping through your veins at sight of mountains. I have watched you head out there in all weathers, all moods, sometimes with company, sometimes alone. Plodder you are not, passionate, stubborn (;-)) & determined you most defiantly are.
