What a week!!! lots to say and i am feeling fairly positive, now that is a bit worrying.
Wednesday, up very early and headed for Oxford and the annual conference! The highlight of the day was indeed Will Carling who certainly lifted the mood of the day! Nothing surprising over the two days but was very tired. I think it was probably the lack of sleep, the talks! and the volume of people in one room.
Still we managed to get home before dark on the Thursday but i didn't run i was much too exhausted!
We managed to get lost several times on the way home even using a Tom Tom! must be me.
W on Friday and the day just flew barely enough hours in the day and next week i have to go to London for the day and the next week two days training again! the miles we travel and the time out of the office which is a problem to re coop! ah well.
I had good plans for the week end and was looking forward to the Sunday run, now that was a mistake!
Had a lie in Saturday morning and then spent the afternoon out visiting my lovely niece and a walk into town. Goodness it was so cold. Icy and the wind was cruel. Managed to get out for another walk in the evening with Tim and Duke.
Lots of news from friends who are in the Olympic stadium run, all are getting their training in, putting me to shame.
Sue bless her has been to the Dr's and has damaged some muscles around the pelvic area and hip/buttocks! and cant run for another week!
And then............ it snowed last night and boy did it snow. Poor Duke refused to come out of the house! he had not seen snow before and really didn't like it.
Got up good time this morning ready to run and opened the curtains. Gulp!!!!! never seen so much snow here. We had drifts of the white stuff in the garden and down the drive. I did walk to the top of the drive but no chance of running today. As i was up though we got wrapped up and headed for the fields. It was so white!!! and i had problems just walking on the paths.
Duke was in his element running all over, everywhere was so quiet and still, but warmer, the earth had her winter coat on and she looked glorious. Managed to get some lovely photos and i will try and post them on here tomorrow. The computer is so slow! must get it looked at again.
Tom popped down in his Capri! after we had cleared the drive. Next door came out to help and then the lads on the other side helped as well. Certainly better for Tom when he turned up. It was really bad at Westry so he had to take it steady.
Tom then offered to take me up to Tesco!!!! what a white knuckle ride, swinging and sliding all over the place and then we got stuck!!! eventually managed to move but i thought i would walk the 3.5.miles home!!! well not a very good idea. Once the snow started to seep through he boots i knew it would be miserable, so next stop bought some wellies! put them on in the shop and headed home, with drier feet, wet socks and footwear in bag!
Another walk tonight across the fields in the dark, except it was as bright as day. The snow enabled us to see for miles!
Now snug in the home with heating and thermal pj's.
We have said today how we have missed Mikey and wished he was here today, Tim said not how he was Sue. I said i would like here here no matter what and Tim said that was selfish because we now know how he must have been suffering. Maybe that's right and i am selfish and i would like him back but healthy, but that's not going to happen is it?
Time has passed but it may as well as been yesterday that we last saw him and still the good memories are not here yet! of course we talk about happy times but it just makes you realise what we are missing. Our family is incomplete.
Must be more positive!! ah well tomorrow is another day..........................
