Day Twenty-Three

Intended on running 3 or 4 miles today to make up for eating too many biscuits at work, but we ended up going into Kenmare and having dinner there. By the time we got home, it was dark and I was nauseaous from the car ride.

I did 11.47, 1 mile around the house. Toby was very good and I was relieved to keep the streak going.

Day Twenty-Two

The weather all day has been miserable - gale-force winds with sheets of rain. No letup at all. Toby and I just did 12.42 around the house. I think that should be a mile - I tacked on a few extra minutes to counteract the fierce headwind that slowed us down often. Toby was good - he stayed close.

Part of the yard is flooded and our rain bucket is showing at least a fresh inch and a half of rain. The lake is also quite high as is the river at work. Hope it's not like this all night.

Going out in this sort of miserable weather to keep the streak alive gives me a certain satisfaction and Pleased with Self-ed-ness that is difficult to get from other activities.

Day Twenty-One

I was a little sore from my first camogie training since September, so I just did another mile around the house. 11.14. Again, Toby trailed along next to or behind me. He looked with interest at a couple of passing cars, but stayed close.

Day Twenty

Again, just a single mile or thereabouts. I did 14.17 around the house. Toby was good again. I don't think he's a morning dog - he trailed behind for most of the run.

Day Nineteen

The legs were a little sore, so I just did one mile - 10.33. Toby ran alongside me and managed not to break away after any cars.

Day Eighteen

It was sunny and gorgeous out all day, so I fully expected the weather to turn bad just before I left work. But it didn't. It was the perfect, warmish spring day with big fluffy clouds, a blue sky and a warm sun.

Toby and I made up for our week of short runs today - we did about 7 miles - 1:14:18. Our most ever. Toby dove into his water bowl when we got home, but otherwise showed no effect from the run. I think he could probably jog at least 10 miles. After 5 miles, he caught sight of another dog and massively picked up the pace. He had plenty of run left in him.
