It’s a bit shocking to realise that
it’s been a whole month since my last blog; where does the time go? There’s
been so little play time this last month that I’ve been only minimally aware of
injury time and the absence of running. Quite a confession from such a running
nut I know. The big job and commuting and all the new stuff to learn has tired
me out. I’ve even been wondering whether Runningbear’s blog deserves continued
attention. I’m not making any rash decisions yet and hope that over the coming
months real life starts to feel more manageable and the blogging mojo hopefully
returns. I think maybe I work too much...
For now, a Runningbear update. I
am running! I even managed a rather tough 15 with a few mile efforts yesterday
(and gave M a run for his money). The Achilles ‘sheath’ is seemingly okay and
has coped with a bit of speed work this week too. I’m a few pounds heavier and
a bit sad to have missed my favourite races again this year; Burnsall 10 most
of all. But I’m also kind of mentally refreshed and thinking excited thoughts
about the cross country season and possibly a half marathon PB in January. So
the running break can’t have been that bad.
In the mean time M & I have
been contemplating a house move. We’re house hunting in various spots but there’s
not much about of what we’re after; something small but secluded. To inspire
ourselves we returned to one of our favourite places this weekend for the show. What a lovely day it was. Latest idea is we're thinking of escaping the rat race to become Alpaca farmers... Hope you enjoy the pics.
