Monday

I was lying in bed in that state between sleeping and being awake when I became aware of a whimper. I glanced at my watch which informed me that it was 04:50 – not too bad.

I threw the dogs out into the garden while I went back upstairs to get dressed. Looking out of the window I noticed that it was raining so chose the waterproof trousers.

My training plan shows me that I am to take it fairly easy this week. I try to train hard for two weeks then take an easier week to recover. I’m on the easy week.

I walked Misty about a mile then repeated with Gabby.

Back home we had a leisurely breakfast before I changed and went to earn a crust.

In the evening it was another mile each and obviously, two for me.
