Second-hand Experience

On the bike today and it’s a cold but exceedingly awesome ride. Even better news is that L swims and manages to get in and out of the pool like a normal person.

Pero the Sheepdog walks 240 miles home from Cumbria to Ceredigion, Mid Wales in 12 days. He may have thumbed a lift of course, I’m sure our two would have. It would have certainly took them longer to cover the distance on foot what with all the sniffing and weeing.

L's boss has joined Slimming World. Am I the only person left who hasn’t been to Slimming World? Although I suppose I do have plenty of second-hand experience of it.

L and her Ironwoman friend have been debating whether it's best to be trained but injured or undertrained. Now there’s a question, which I ponder as I strap my leg up and get ready for a wet ride home.

Playing Myself

Doggo is finally deemed fit enough to get a proper walk this morning, which must have been hell for L, what with three days worth of sniffs and wees to catch up on.

We lied about the collar. Doggo gets another day in it, much to MD’s disgust.

I’m on the bike and it's a bit blustery to say the least but it’s what I need, a bit of hard training as I’ve got that half marathon coming up and I can’t run far.

The weather is foul all afternoon, luckily just after we got back from our pub lunch, but fines up by the time I bike home.

L runs to Portland Leisure Centre where I’m playing squash and goes in the gym. I find out that my opponent has had to cancel at the last minute but only after I’ve paid of the court. So I play myself for half an hour before getting bored and heading off to meet L. Well at least I didn’t lose.

Tesco Watch. We decide to skip the pub and head home to open a bottle of wine instead but with the White Hart still shut we couldn’t have gone there for a curry anyway. I hope it doesn't stay shut too long. We know what happens to pubs that stay shut for longer than a couple of weeks. They become a Tesco and there isn't one for at least a quarter of a mile round there, so it's a distinct possibility.
