      @Michele, so glad we were there together - I would have dropped off and ate my "fuel" sitting on the ground. LOL. Plus, I love our run dates.

    Little 1:1 through fells with Michele C. - took a guess on the distance post-walk-warm up, but really have no idea what we ran - haven't mapped it yet.
