That Dog.....!

Well the heavy investment at the vets has paid off, Titch is putting on weight and eating like a horse, all be it a small Shetland pony type one. I think she's been taking lessons in cuteness on the side as well as I've never known her do so much sitting looking sweet before.
Running hasn't improved much, managed the club race at Penrith last week which had been postponed from the previous week because of too much ice on the route. Perhaps if I'd been able to do it with skates I may have got a decent time, the uphill bits would have been tricky mind! The weekend saw the 10k Langdale Christmas Pudding race, an excellent event with a really good atmosphere AND a Christmas pud for every finisher! What more could you want? apart from a faster time as usual, oh & less pain the day after but still brilliant. A whole Xmas pud to myself, yum yum.
I've also managed to fit in a BMW Club Xmas dinner ( tons of food & good crack), a running club Xmas dinner (not as much food cos running next day,but fancy dress & more good crack), a decent dog walk with friends (no food but good gossip) and some quality time with a very dear friend in my rest days. At this rate I'll be a stone heavier even before we get to Christmas, role on January!

What a busy weeek!

Well what a week it has been! Took 2 nights off last weekend to give me a full six days away from work which seemed longer because the previous week I'd been a on course doing office hours so no early starts. As ever things didn't quite go to plan but managed to get to running club, purchase service bits for the bike & go skiing at Glasgow as well as the usual day to day stuff.
The weather of course has been from one extreme to the other & I've managed to be out in all of it at one stage or another, the little dog looked like she'd been dipped in a pot of brown paint last Sunday after a walk in the woods. The bath was a sight to behold after she was washed off much to her disgust!
Poor little soul had to go to the vets on Monday as she's not been well, however another substantial investment into the vets pension fund has got her 2 lots of medication & some new food. Hopefully she'll start putting some weight soon, makes a change from what the ladies usually wish for when it comes to waist lines. Watch this space.
