How can a Rest Day be so tiring..???

A nice easy week for me ahead of the Langdale Horseshoe, which will be my first foray into actually racing on the Fells.
Not one to do things half-heartedly, I'm jumping in with an 'AL' with pretty tough cut-offs.

For anyone who doesn't know about the classifications in fell races.....

Ascent Categories

Category A:- at least 250 ft (76.2 m) of ascent per mile (1.6 km); should not have more than 20% of the race distance on road; should be at least one mile in length.
Category B:- at least 125 ft (38.1 m) of ascent per mile (1.6 km); should not have more than 30% of the race distance on road
Category C:- at least 100 ft (30.5 m) of ascent per mile (1.6 km): should not have more than 40% of the race distance on road: should contain some genuine fell terrain

Distance Categories

Category L - for Long - over 12 miles (19.3 km)
Category M - for Medium - over 6 miles (9.6 km)
Category S - for Short - less than 6 miles (9.6 km)

Having been to the area a few times, I'm under no illusions about how difficult it will be!

So yesterday was a Rest Day - from running!
But by the time tea-time came around I was really tired.
I'm in the process of setting up a small business, the details of which I'll elaborate upon in due course. It is something I have not done before, and there is SO much to do.
So yesterday was spent on the PC, making phone calls, emailing people who have offered their help.

It's all well and good having an idea that you are pretty sure is going to work.... but putting in place the structure to actually make it happen is really quite involved. So I got to the end of the day yesterday feeling like I'd been wading through treacle, and with my head so full of 'stuff' that it had reached exploding point!

An early night was needed - and had!

And it all starts again today!!
