Day 168 - Injury stopped play

Even the best trail runners get injured sometimes. Poor Max had run after something on the heath into the bushes and undergrowth, there was a yelp, and he came back with this cut. Doesnt look very big but its quite deep. Cue a trip to the emergency vet, 4 staples and a lot of stress later and we have a lighter bank account too. Not looking forward to taking him to have them out :-(

Day 165 - a temporary move

Back to work today. Luckily I'd been warned by my colleague that we had moved offices to the building next door while i was away (temporarily while our new offices are done up). Nice though, i actually have my own window which makes a change.

Day 164 - a mini Grand?

 

A favourite section on the local heath, run through today in a very warm, very humid hours run. Reminds me of a miniature Grand Canyon. 

Day 163 - A total contrast

In a total contrast to last weeks event, today was a fun event with bonkers friends. Nifty Nanas dressed all in blue (with a couple of welcome interlopers) 'running' the 5 mile race at the one off event 'Wedding Cow Races'. We all crossed the line together in a generous 1 hour and 17 minutes, a finish time which might well have been influenced by alcohol intake and general mucking about. :-)

Day 162 - Theres no place like home

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home..."

Don't you find that no matter how great a time youve had on holiday, its still really nice to walk back in your own front door?...

Day 161 - waterfalls

 

Visited Tarn Hows today, bit touristy but quite nice. Even nicer was finding a little path going away from the touristy bit and going down a rocky path past this lovely waterfall..

Day 160 - little faerie bridge

Another hot day
Another walk not in the open.
found some ruined cottages and this delightful little stone bridge just wide enough for one person (or several faeries) to cross at a time. Very quiet.
