Those That Can Run, Run

Back at work on Wednesday and I’ve gone in the car, only to realise that I’m out in Derby tonight. So I bring the car back home at lunchtime and go back to work on the bus. The boys were pleased to see me and to get a quick romp.

I was a bit bemused why there were bits of white plastic everywhere. Turns out someone had pinched a plastic food tray out of the sink and destroyed it. So the puppy is clearly now capable of getting his beak in the sink.

Those that can run, run. L and Daughter do Colwick on Thursday, the Sunrise City 5K on Friday and then Notfast on Sunday. Meanwhile I’m think about taking up something safer, like golf. Although I’m sure I could injure myself playing golf.

I’m also in London for work on Friday but for once I don't have to get up early because I was already up, for the Sunrise City 5K which started at 5:30am. The meeting in London was at least surprisingly pleasant and constructive.

Saturday brings England’s Quarter Final with Sweden and a remarkably straightforward 2-0 win. Onwards to the Semi Finals.

The Whole Nottingham Caboodle

It’s cold and slightly icy today, so I take the bus.  

It's far too early to mention the C word but my brother does so anyway. He says he’s at his in-laws on the Fourth Sunday in December, so I shall invite my Mum and Dad round to us. L reckons we should be able to sandwich them in between Parkruns. 

Apparently there is a ******mas Eve one at Beeston, a ******mas Day one at Forest Rec, a New Year's Eve one at Rushcliffe and the Gedling-Colwick double header on New Year's Day. So that's the whole Nottingham caboodle in a week. The double header consists of one run at 9am and one at 10am with a bit of 'driving like a maniac' in between.

Now all I have to do is sort out the roast haunch of Wollaton Park deer for said Fourth Sunday.

Today isn’t apparently Black Friday but I am already getting the offers. It is actually next Friday but some companies seem to be running a Black Friday week.

After work I go to the gym at the velodrome for a quick trash on the Watt Bikes. L and the boys then walk up to meet my bus.
