This morning I was feeling quite tired from my first week back to work following the Christmas Holiday period. Last week I managed a total weekly running mileage of 42 miles, which 70 percent of this was off road trail running.
With today's mileage this would accumulated to a total running mileage of 32 miles, which again 80 percent of this would be off road trail running.
Starting my run at Peak Number 1 - "Tunstall Hills".
The half way marker at 10 miles - Peak Number 4 "Penshaw Monument"
Passing the local wild life heading down to the river bank of the River Wear.
Heading along the river back towards the city centre.
