I was unlikely to find another opportunity this week for this workout, so decided to just get it out of the way.<\/p>\n<p>Friday morning skiing, 10000m (46:18.2) for the challenge, knocked nearly 2 minutes of Monday&#8217;s PB, maintained around 2:18 pace, last 2K was almost under 9 minutes at 9:02.1, which is in itself 4 seconds faster than my PB from Monday, then a 1127m (6:32.3) cool down. This completes the skiing part of my <a href=\"https:\/\/log.concept2.com\/challenges\/dog-days\">Dog Days of Summer<\/a> challenge for this week with 33,376m.<\/p>\n<p>Friday evening I drove to Newent in Gloucestershire with my son to stay with my mother and collect my daughter who had been there since Wednesday, the drive took about 2 and a half hours hitting about 30 minutes of traffic just the other side of Oxford.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday morning I persuaded my son to come with me on a walk &#8216;around the block&#8217;, we set off at about 05:50 walked the 9km circular route at a reasonably leisurely pace, took 1 hour and 47 minutes and we were back in time for breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately my son developed a blister on his foot during the walk and since he had been awake since around 03:00, he decided not to come on a hike with my daughter and I later that day.<\/p>\n<p>For the hike we drove to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malvernhills.org.uk\/visiting\/parking\/\">British Camp car park<\/a>, then walked up to the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Herefordshire_Beacon\">Herefordshire Beacon<\/a> and across to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malvernbeacon.com\/malvern-hills\/eastnor-obelisk\">Eastnor Obelisk<\/a> before circling back to the car park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
