ITG 🇮🇸
Fab,GH!

I did my longest training run on Sat, mostly thinking "I'm not sure I like running marathons."

ITG, this marathon run *is* training for me. I feel a bit rubbish as far as fitness goes, but I know I can get round in the time allowed. I will enjoy getting out, meeting people, and scoffing snacks and even if I only run half, and jog walk the rest, that will be OK.

Relief for you ITG, that's good.

Grey skies gave way to cloudless blue skies halfway down the M5 :-) Today is supposed to be a rest day but I'm tempted to pop out for an evening run around sunset. We'll see :-)

Love the pup!
ITG, it's awful deferring/failing students, I know from experience, (am a senior mentor in ambulance service) but sometimes you have no choice. The perceptive ones will realise and accept a deferral. The non perceptive ones are more likely to fail. Glad today went as well as possible!

Gorgeous pup :-)

I went to the office today and met four of my work colleagues. We had a lunch by the canal (the office is in Sheffield) and it was lovely to meet people. And my boss had her dog with her, he sat behind me most of the day. I've decided he's my new best friend.

That dog looks very similar to son2's Collie :-) Lovely dogs.

I didn't go for a run. The thought of changing into my kit didn't appeal after all.

That’s a really good outcome then, ITG; certainly better than you feared.
