Day 99 -2

Not bad for a Friday. Had a quiet morning at work and then went out to Rother Valley Country Park to meet a consultant for a meeting. It was great - we ended up having a site visit and meeting which was more like a weekend walk but without the crowds. As part of a development of land adjacent to the Park which the COuncil is doing, we had to walk round the Park and up to the site which meant walking alongside the lakes and rivers, looking at the swans and wildlife and listening to the birds sing! I could handle doing that every Friday afternoon. We finished off by sitting at a picnic table next to the lake surrounded by swans and ducks going through some papers. Very civilised.

I was sensibly dressed in jeans and trainers but my 2 colleagues were in work suits etc so I had a great time but I think the boys' feet were a little sore!!

Once back home I rang my friend to arrange a run for tomorrow morning but she said she couldn't make it as she'd promised her little girl a trip to Gullivers Kingdom in Matlock (lucky woman eh??) but she was going this evening instead - so off we went!!

Kate runs much faster than me and although she either waits for me at gates or comes back to me, I still end up running faster than usual so as not to hold her up. Not only that, but she took me the "wrong" way round the route which involved 3 massive hills!! Then the damn dog got herself lost for the first time ever in her life. She often hangs back behind me then races to catch us up but I reckon she didn't realise how much further ahead we were because we were running and then lost us so turned round and went back to the farmplace where she goes during the day!! Little minx.

I had just run up the third of the masssive hills and then had to turn round and go and fetch her,e thn run it again! Knackered. I'll be watching her closely at that bend next time I can tell you.

Anyway, I'm off out to meet friends in the pub tonight so will go now- have a great weekend everyone.
