Woke tired and achy at 4.20am to make sure the boy got off to work. Back to bed til 5.30. Then up and out with the dog. Slightly longer walk as no run planned and didn't need to get the boss up in a hurry. She was already up anyway as I'd not turned the alarm off properly. Such is life!
Good day on the solar generation front. 5.69 kWh today is best we've had so far and it's only Feb!

Up at the crack again. Then up at 5:40. Then walking the dog and fetching the papers. Then getting changed and doing a lil three miler before going to work. Got round in under 11 minute mile pace for the first time in a while - I'm going to consider that progress! Got into the office for 8:50 so not too bad all things considered!
Last day of dog training - Lily has progressed - okay, she's not a show dog standard but she's progressed and we've got a foundation to work on and I've got a bit more knowledge to fall back on.

Up at 4.20am, Phil upped and off to work. Back to bed for a bit. Up at 5.40am. Dog walked, papers fetched. Another three mile run. Just a smidge under 11 minute miles - it'll do as my legs feel knackered after Sunday's exertions. At least I'm ticking off the weekly runs requirement. Long day at work then went to group. Only lost a pound - miffed at that but what can you do. Back home. Tea. Dog Walked. Fixed an Advent Vega by putting the initial setup image on it. Could only do it on son's Pc as the usb drivers only work on 32 bit operating systems. Never mind, put the image on and it sprang to life again. Very good.

Woke Phil up at 4.20, back to bed. At 4:50 I'm woken up by someone in a hoodie in the bedroom. Can you give me a lift to work dad, car battery's flat. Marvellous - set off down Sides Mill Lane only to find a tree in the way so back half a mile and took a round trip through Snelston Village. Got home about 5:15 so took dog walk and fetched papers. Back home, first job find battery charger. Second job get flat battery out - would be easier if could find a socket ratchet but that would be way too easy. Found something to do the job, got battery out - charged two hours, fetched Phil at 8am. Put battery in sparked when connected terminals, flat as fart when he turned key and no spark when disconnected terminals. Conclusion - knackered battery. Took him to Shenton's Garage to get new battery - got to order one in. Not to worry - this is how it's going. Got to work for 9.45am Marvellous - no run either due to no time at all. Never mind - nice day so am sure we'll be generating nicely!

Up again to take child to work. Brillianr. Cards and stuff done and dusted. Dog walked, papers fetched. Day off! Bit on the allotment then off to Uttoxeter for lunch with the bride. Back and onwards. No run.
Saturday 15th February 2014
Up at the crack. Dog walked. Papers fetched. Bit of work in attic. Phil car still rubbish, taking and fetching the boy. All good stuff. A bit of tidying in the attic. Six(!) holes of golf at lunchtime - could have done 10 but wind blowing a hoolie and mixed with lashings of rain I was happy to come off for a coffee. Little 2 mile run to make sure I get the requisite number in for Jantastic.me! Fish and chips night. Bed early. Oh yes, had a beer and a couple of whiskys after 6 weeks of nowt. So what.
Sunday 16th February 2014
Up early. Phil delivered to work. Dog walked. Breakfast. Did a bit in the attic. Over to Uncle Peter's memorial took some tulip bulbs ready for spring - can't believe three years has passed. Then nipped down to me mum and dads for a coffee, very nice. Then back to Ashbourne to take Phil to work. Then 8.5 mile slow run with loads of hills.
Unfortunately, it wasn't quite enough miles as I'd set the Jantastic target as a nine mile run each week, however had forgotten this and thought I only needed to do seven!!
16/5
