I got up early yesterday for my physio, sat and waited only to discover i was a day early again!!!
So we went out to Wells and Sherringham. Did loads of walking on the beach this time my ankle was fine, so pleased about that. Had a lovely long day out. The sun as shining and it was really mild for the time of year. It was snowing this time last year. There are loads of berries on the trees and the pine cones are still clinging to the branches in abundance. I sure sign of mild weather. Duke was so good travelling, he has become a quite seasoned traveller!!! Tim took some pictures of me with Duke, i will put one on at the end!
The fields look healthy and alive with new growth. The winter wheat i expect. The crows, my word the flocks are huge and they are still using their old nests, they haven't been beaten down by the wind as yet.
The pubs at the coast have started their offer meals! buy one get one free, excellent value at the Crown in Sherringham.
Home in time for a quick coffee and my run.
Felt really good tonight and was going well, Sue was still having problems following her two runs on Tuesday, so we did the shorter route and had a small walk. It was nice for me this time not to be holding her back. We still did nearly 5 miles though. However we have to do 7 miles on Sunday ready for the 10 mile run in two weeks time!!
I got up again this morning for physio and she was pleased with how things are going. I have to be sensible and she said i could do the 7 miles on Sunday but must have a walk in between miles! and i should be OK for the 10 mile but i must walk some of the race!! i am to go and have the ankle strapped on the Friday before the race. Lots more exercises to strengthen the tendons!! now i am to do some hopping and balancing on a cushion with my eyes shut. I did that tonight and nearly fell over!! I am also to start running cross country after the race. To try and get used to uneven terrain to strengthen the ankle. All to get me fit for the marathon!!!
Went shopping later and managed to get myself a long sleeved running top to go under the vest for the long race!!! it will be cold, well not too bad if i keep moving.
Dentist this afternoon and thank goodness i have had my crown put back on. A new one would be about £400 so i was pleased that the socket is still healthy!!
Tom has been discussing his move and i am getting worn out just thinking about it. Tom wants everything done yesterday!! Mikey was so different and so much more organised and will to pay the cost of other peoples services. Tom, well that's another thing all together. I wonder if we are helping too much. Oh well time will tell i expect.
I have been thinking about Mikey such a lot today and driving home just started to weep yet again!! i ended up giving myself a stern talking to. It didn't help really. I could just see his legs of all things, the sun was out and he would still be wearing his shorts!! Its such a cold world we are living in without him. It doesn't matter how we try to fill our time and do things, thoughts drift in through the gaps of time and make us sad. Mikey didn't want that we know. He said we could be sad for a little while, but its not easy to keep promises like that. I wonder if we really comprehended the enormity of the loss we would feel and the length of time we would be like this. Its for life. Just that some days are better than others and some days we are really good at deceiving ourselves.
Well i have to get up early in the morning, i have a white knuckle ride to Doncaster, Toms a very impatient driver!! help him pack. Tim will have a day of peace. Tom seems to think we can pack and dismantle all his stuff ready to collect next week in 4 hours! in his dreams me thinks.
Ah well tomorrow is another day.........................
