8:07 am and my first run of the day; 5.25 miles up into the hills above Settle from home with Harry and his friend Wallace, who's a springer spaniel with a big screw loose. It was cloudy but the clouds looked beautiful in a dark and ominous sort of way and there was a nice dusting of snow on the tops. Incidentally all the pictures look like I've gone all arty farty and published them in black and white but, nope, these are all full colour versions. No pictures of Wallace for this run though - he was a white and brown blur all the way round.

Really love this picture of the boy.

11:17 am and the second run of the day; this time 6 miles up Pen y Ghent with Lauren (daughter #2) and her buddy Kirsty (and of course Harry and Wallace). Well, when I say run, there was an awful lot that was unrunnable under Lauren's rules ("I hate running on tarmac", "I hate running downhill" and the best of all, bearing in mind she was wearing fell shoes "I can't run on stones in these shoes") but it was still a great run out/not run out all the same.

Looks like a good day out.
