NO JACKET REQUIRED




   Apologies to Phil Collins for today's title but nothing more appropriate to sum up the rise in temperature during today's run.  Looking out from the house on our side of Ilkley I can see the sunnier Middleton side but hard to predict how warm it was in the noon day sun.  A warm up 3 mile approach to a quiet lane predictably free of cars but clear of snow for a hill session.  Soft shell jackets are great for prerace and post race or training in near zero temperatures but prove too warm during today's run. I
   So if conditions are anything to go by as at 12 o'clock today a thaw may well be on the way!   Sorry kids!    Hill reps are hard work at the best of times but at least try and choose somewhere where cars are not an issue and the scenery is easy on the eye.................

Another 8 mile today. The week is going very well,  despite the weather but  a lot of road . Hopefully the thaw will materialise and I can return to some offroad running to ease the impact on the legs.
