Sunday 27th January 2013
Up at 7:36!!!  Yikes am getting lazy.  Took Pooch out for about a mile up to Clifton cemetery and back have never seen so much water flowing along the road near the cemetery - the little stream had come over the top of  it's banks and was releasing water onto the road.  Never mind.  Took Lucy to see the Hobbit at Cineworld in Uttoxeter - half the price of seeing Life of Pi at Cineworld in Nottingham.  Film started bang on time too so well impressed with that.  Bought a new chair for computer which Phil had set up in no time when I took it home.   Over to me mum's for tea - very nice indeed.  Another weekend with no alcohol imbibed - can I make it habit? We'll have to see.

Got back for about 7:30 took pooch for a walk which ended up being about 3 miles as we had to avoid the flooded Watery Lane (which lived up to it'son the way back.

Up at 5:45 - need to be getting up a bit earlier as didn't get back until 7:05 after taking the pooch out for about 3 miles.  Never mind, all good stuff.  Into work for a bit after 8:30.

After work, had tea and what have you.  Took pooch out but she didn't want to go any distance so came back, got changed and did a 5.5 mile run with added hills !  Pace was 10:22 with only one sub 10 min mile but was happy that that was the fifth mile so just feeling the slush run from the other day in my legs a bit.

Up at 5:30 - this is the right time to get up I think.  Took pooch on the same 3 mile walk as yesterday but got back for 6:55am which is better.  Into the office for a bit after 8am all good.  Long day didn't get out the office til gone 7pm.  never mind.

Wednesday 30th January 2012
Up at 5:20.  Set off running but didn't set off Endomond until I'd already done half a mile.  Never mind.  Got the three miles done that the Asics Plan expected.  So was already a bit late when got back to take pooch out so me and the pooch did a run/walk up town and back and were back home before 7am to get the folks up - averaged 16:09 per mile which with the pipster is marvellous.  Went to group after work - some shenanigans when the laptop wouldn't work - turned out to be the power sockets not working but the lights were working so no-one thought anything of it.   Such is life.  Lost 2.5lbs which is better than nowt.

Pooch didn't want to go walk at 9pm which was a bad omen.  Sure enough at midnight had to get up and take the beggar out.  She then did a bit of barking at 3:30am and then 4:30am - think a lot of it's to do with the weather conditions and the noises you get when it's windy.  Such is life.

Up at 5:50, took pooch a two mile loop down Waterly Lane, along Mayfield Road, up, Carnation Way and then back along the Lichfield Road to home.  Back for about 6:50 which was okay as I'm knackered. Am supposed to be doing a 7.5 mile fast run tonight - we'll see.

Well got home, missus not feeling well so no tea ready which was ideal.  Got out for a run at 7:13 and got a good 8 miles done.  GPS wasn't right for first mile so it says 12 minutes when I'd actually run 1.15 miles at that point - never mind still finished strong with the last three miles being the best - MyAsics' target was 10:48 miles and I did 10:40 miles on average so all good even with a slower that it was first mile.

Cripes where did January go, oh that's right most of it was rain snow and floods.  Marvellous, played golf all of once in January I think.   Such is life.  February starting off rubbish - took pooch out for a quarter of a mile this morning - she don't like rain but that's  Jack Russells for you - fairweather pooches.  Not too bothered after last nights run.  Broke the alcohol free fasting tonight - such is life back to plan next week!

Saturday 2nd February 2013
Got up early doors(ish). Took pooch out at 6:38 for a lil walkies.   Got a time down for golf at 1:54.  Went to homebase for a light fitting they didn't have in stock - typical - fashioned something out of a new fitting and the old fitting and we've got a light in the hallway again.  Quite pleased with that.  Golf at 1:54 just lost out to John but was quite pleased since had only played the once in January.  Only three holes closed on the course was quite impressive given the weather.
