The first problem is getting Doggo there without him knowing
and therefore getting excited at the anticipated ball session. So I drive there
via a different route to throw him off the trail and it works a treat.
The run goes roughly ok. MD gets his comfort break in
before the start but we have to stand so far back behind everyone else because of his
excited barking that in the morning’s dense fog we don’t see everyone else
start until they are halfway down the first stretch. Cue a manic sprint from us
both, delayed by a bit of lead biting (I must stop doing that), and then a lot of overtaking up the
grass on the inside.
Our time is good but not a PB due to that delayed start. Then it’s a long leisurely breakfast as L has cancelled her
10am Pilates before she heads off for her still booked 11am Pilates and then onto the 12:30 warm down I have booked for her back at home.
Then it’s the football. My favourite day, FA Cup 3rd
Round day, and Derby win impressively at West Bromwich Albion.
In the evening it’s my friend’s 50th Birthday
Celebration which is at the Brunswick. He was going to book a room for it but
hasn’t which is probably wise as there aren’t that many of us. Black Santa,
presumably Christmas leftovers, is added to my list while L’s New Year’s drink
is whiskey and soda as apparently its low calorie. She clearly intends to be up competing with me in the half marathons this year.
