Rode my "classics" route yesterday - Brickworks, Windgather, Goyt Ln and a6 silliness home. Haven't had the chance to ride a load this year really, so it was a joy to be out in the hills again even with poor fitness.
Highlights were a moment of pure silence in thick cloud/fog up the top of Windgather/pym (could only hear my tyres) and overindulging at the cafe stop in Whaley. -

A little update on the thread's other Daisy (@velosaurus - lovely pup!)
She's doing great, had her first significant off-lead periods on a walk today and happily accompanied me on a long combo run/walk yesterday. These felt like huge pinch-me moments to be honest, a normal walk was challenging at first. She's making real progress on reactivity with other dogs, which is making taking her out so much less stressful. We've been pretty overwhelmed at times and wondered if we'd made a huge mistake to be brutally honest, but we're absolutely committed and keeping patience at the forefront of our minds. Still a lot of work to do on separation anxiety (date night is a distant memory) but we'll get there. Moving to a house from a flat very soon and can't wait for her to have her own outdoor space too.
Have some silly ears:

Thank you! I've read about the jump from a half to a marathon being huge and it's part of what's fuelling my hesitancy to immediately commit to the full distance: if my halves have always been a bit rough a full marathon might be a disaster.
Manchester marathon is in April, so a significant enough amount of time away to get my legs in order and make a decision.

Might it be worth shaking up the routine? Add a mile to a day you have a rest day after, take a mile off the day when you ran the day before? Or something to that effect.
