Got up fairly early (4am) to make sure laddo got off to work. Then went back to bed a bit. Then got up and did a 6 mile run at cracking pace (for me) considering I'd done nowt last week. Anyroad, all good stuff.
Run (only 4.27 miles recorded) http://connect.garmin.com/activity/187976775
Did gardening when got back; planted some more lettuces, more red onions, potted some peppers (try saying that with a drink or two down you, weeded the front border thang, put canes and runners in for six tomato plants that have been toughened and put outside in growbags. All good stuff.
Took mum and dad and family to Stepping Stones for lunch and very nice it was too. Then did a load of Ebay parcelling up which had to be done. Then had a bit of tea, then went up and did just under four miles of pretty decent golf if I do say so myself.

Up early as usual, didn't get Phil up until got back from running as he wasn't on an early. Did the now almost-usual 5 mile run but battery on watch ran out after 4.5 miles not bothered!!

Weighed in today - only put on 2lbs since last weighed before holiday so that's more than acceptable after the beer and whisky drinks and other miscellaneous rubbish I'd expected half a stone to go on but am back in the groove and pleased with it all!

Woke up mega early by Lucy as there was a fly in her room bugging her! Awesome, then got up again to get Phil up at 5:10am. Stayed up but knackered so only did a bit over 3 miles this morning.
Forgot to reset my watch last night so the start point of the attached is the position we were standing for the Halfords Tour Event in Stoke, if you zoom in on the Ashbourne bit you can see 3.2 miles of running up Ashbourne and back.

Steady sort of a day. Up at 4am got Phil up for work, back to bed. Lie in. Got stuff ready for recycling. Did a bit of minor gardening. Made brekky for Lucy. Fetched piccy b brekky for me and Phil, nom nom nom.
Went golfing. Very frustrating stuff - waterproof on, waterproof off. Played some good shots but putted like an ejit. Such is life.
Went to Wing Wahs for Allysa's 21st. It was very good indeed. Impressed.
16/3.5
