January Monday

It ought to be said right away that Monday mornings no longer carry the same weight as in the past for me given that I am retired, so it was lovely to be up after a good weekend to put Joseph on the school bus for the first time; this because being out of catchment he has had to wait for a space, and to then take Juno out for a nice long walk. Once home I took off again for a run which took me just over 4 miles with positive splits including the final third of a mile at well under 9 minute mile pace. Certainly feeling like it is improving but I do keep reminding myself that times aren't important. I want to be able to relax and enjoy what I am seeing as I run rather than feel obliged to go head down and keep plugging away at increasing pace.

Alison and I then drove over to Glen's and spent a couple of hours with him, including a walk along the River Avon with Glen and Rag. Juno was beside herself with excitement and loved the open fields to bounce over.

In the afternoon I got down to cooking fairly soon after returning, lasagne and a few chips, salad, veg for the children and ended up pretty pleased with the resulting tea which Bridie and Joseph joined us for.

Beach walk

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
