Definitely Tracey. Think he'll miss us too. Was only saying last night that it won't be the kids who want to come and stay every week, but Bones as well!
Three miles with Bones this morning. First time I've taken him all the way along the seafront to The Wheel. Funniest thing ever was Bones barking like mad at the statue of a running Steve Ovett. First time he'd ever seen it and he couldn't make it out at all. Made lots of people laugh
And don't know how far away the snow is from Brighton but there was a car parked with snow on its roof????
Lyndy - Bones sounds like so much fun well done on doing three miles
No snow here but it is very cold. I did a very slow 5 miles this morning, started off along the cliff path but the wind was so bitter I turned around and ran along the roads instead! Shin pain not too bad, going to ice and stretch and hopefully it will be okay!
I did try to do a little running with him this morning. Wasn't dressed for it as I didn't have my running trainers on and I was wearing my thick padded ski jacket, but might try donning my running gear when I next take him down to the seafront and see how we get on.
Nice 2.25 mile walk along the seafront and we met a Rottweiler called .............................................................................. Betty!!!!!
Is anyone doing Brighton Half? I'll be at the start tomorrow with daughter. She's just gone to bed feeling very nervous! Her first race! LTJ and I ran for 8 miles this morning. Lovely but I fell over. What a numpty. Tripped on a raised drain on the pavement about a mile from home. Grazed knees and hand and broken nails and feeling bit stiff tonight; amazing how jarring can affect you when you're a bit older.
Daughter completed Brighton Half in 2 hours 17 mins. She did a run walk from the start. The furthest she had run was 10 miles and her training regime was 1 run, possibly 2 a week. Oh to be 25! She found the last few miles tough and it was great to see her finishing strong. What a gorgeous day in Brighton too; sunshine and a blue sparkly sea. Had coffee and doughnuts on the beach afterwards.
Morning, Well done Miss LTS. A fantastic time for a run/walk . Hope your knees and nails are on the mend.
Sorry to say that I didn't make it to Brighton Half yesterday. Was supposed to be handing out medals but when the alarm went off at 6am I just couldn't muster up the enthusiasm to get myself down there. Bones was fast asleep, as was Mr L and I think it was the thought of having to drag myself around the park with Bones before I set off that was the final straw. If I could have just got myself ready and gone then it would have been ok.
Instead I turned the computer on, sent them a quick email to say I wouldn't be there and went back to bed and Bones didn't wake me until 9:45
I did the Brighton Half as well! Gorgeous day for it wasn't it!! Felt like I was back on my summer holidays
Well done LTS and to your daughter as well!
I had to take this one slowly as it is sandwiched between endless weekends of 17-20 milers (meant to be a "rest" week) and to be honest was feeling pretty knackered from the start. But despite a very slow time, I did enjoy it, great crowds!!
Had a lovely long walk with Bones yesterday. Took an opposite route from the way I normally go around the park and started by climbing up to the top of the hills and then along the bridleway that runs next to the golf course. Nearly took my camera with me, but then thought it might need charging. Wish I had now, so we will be doing a repeat walk this afternoon. Just hope the sun is still shining when we go out. Can't do it until the afternoon because there's a race horse trainng track running alongside the bridleway and warnings of "fast horses" between 6am and 11:30am. Really looking forward to it later though.
All this walking is certainly having an effect on me. Not losing any more pounds, but I'm sure I'm getting more toned, and definitely fitter because the hills are not leaving me so breathless
On the downside, I've only got three days, including today, until he goes home Really not looking forward to it. Think there will be some tears chez Lyndy on Friday
Miss LTS says thanks for the congrats. She was raising money for disabled athletes and she was pleased with that. A bit sore yesterday. I went for a run along Worthing sea front this morning and had a coffee with LTJ at Coast cafe. It was fantastic, sunny and warm, with a glistening blue sea. Loads of runners out - must be half term!
Forgot to says congrats to Aizxana. Yes, Brighton half had brilliant sunshine; I remember running it once in freezing rain and wind though. Miss LTS did a run 10 mins, walk 1 min right from the start Lindi and it worked for her.
Not been on here much lately Back in Houston for a couple of weeks, wasn't really planned but Mr TS had to be out here, I stayed home as we are having the house knocked about and loads of building work done but I gave in and came out here as I had no kitchen, no floor downstairs, no heating etc! Did a week up in Yorkshire and then headed out here! Back 1st March.
Running not been great, went out with my friends here on Monday, only did 3 and a bit miles and not very fast. Did do a long fast bike ride this morning though.
I was going to go to club last night and do a run/walk with Karen who is starting out again but I was late leaving work. That's two nights in a row!!!! I left on time today though. I'm going tomorrow night though
Today is the last day of my doggie walking duties. The kids come home late tonight so Bones will be going home in the morning That is, if I answer the phone. If I don't answer the phone, they'll think I'm out and won't be able to collect him

Three miles But only walking MWW. Still, better than nothing, and as Bones is able to be off the lead I do get to really stride out
Another mile and a half this afternoon. Couldn't get any more out of him. He just sat down, waited for me then set off for home
I did try to do a little running with him this morning. Wasn't dressed for it as I didn't have my running trainers on and I was wearing my thick padded ski jacket, but might try donning my running gear when I next take him down to the seafront and see how we get on.

Tracey. Roobs said she was going out with the club last night. Hope she behaved herself
I had one glass of wine. The food was very nice but I am suffering with my stomach today Feeling absolutely washed out
Hiya!
Glad your daughter did so well LTS And hope you are feeling ok after your fall.

I did 12 miles off-road at club yesterday morning, lots of puddles and mud.

Think you have to baby sit bones once a week
Got some nice pics from the top of the valley. Hopefully it will still be nice enough to go up there again tomorrow, but forecast is not brilliant
