17.74 miles and 5 climbs

It was a very warm sunny day as I set out on another Arthur Lydiard type long hill run, luckily there was a breeze to help cool me down, even so I still got some what dehydrated, over 2 hours running without water meant my weight had dropped down to 10 stone 12 lb by the end of the run!
Once again I ran over 5 big climbs, inc Stoney Lane, Hunters Hill, I then followed the Harrock Hill Race route [ Brian Grice informs me that I have run 27 Harrock Hill races since its inception in 2000, the most by any Southport Waterloo runner!] down through the fields then up Parbold hill over the fields, then on to Harrock Hill and back to Hunters which I climbed again, I then followed a 7 mile roller coaster road loop round to Harrock hill which I climbed on the road, the last few miles I could start to feel my energy draining away but my legs still felt better than Mondays long run!
On 2 of the climbs I did Arthur Lydiards springing exercise, I'm convinced this will help me run faster in my up coming hill races.
I WANT TO START FINISHING IN THE TOP TEN, SOON!
