Wierdly enjoyable as the scenery on the run is beautful, that is undeniable.

Think I deserve a rest day so had brekko and then into work early!  On saying that am not hobbling about like last week which is nice!

Tuesday 14th August 2012
Picked me dad up and then went to t'other side of Bradford for two days golfing at Hollins Hall courtesy of the kind folks at work.



Finding my way round the first day - scraped round in 97!! 

Top scram in the evening - gorgeous rib-eye steak but overkill with chips and fried onion rings. Total overkill!  £4 a pint for Stella, jeez Louise.

Decent breakfast at Hollins Hall Marriot then some more golfin.   Took a nine on the ninth which wrecked the card but think went round in 94 with a couple of lost balls - am going to upload the round from freecaddie pro in a bit then I'll have some stats!!!

Me dad pitching over the bunker to the green on Holling Hall signature hole called guess what... The Viaduct.  Can't imagine why.

Me dad and I on one of the tees - lord, it was a slow day on the links.  4hrs 15 minutes to go round, about 50 minutes longer than the previous day I think.


Thursday 16th August 2012
Up at 3:50am (oh yes), on train from Derby at 5:10, in London 7:10,  Sharepoint course started 9:30am, back on train home at 17:40, got off it at 17:45 and got onto the 17:55 (an hour quicker apparently than the 17:45) and back home about 8:10.  All done, no exercise, v. tired. 

Friday 17th August 2012
Up at 6am, v tired, took Phil to work at 6:40, in the office for 8:20.  All going okay but no exercise again - which I'm not too worried about as have 18.6 miles to run on Sunday!

Saturday 18th August 2012
Bit tired this morning.  Went to bed early enough but got up at 4am to take Phil to work.  He's sorted his ped out now so should be able to get a couple of hours extra tomorrow morning before the big run.  Retirement beckons thereafter I reckon!

We're dog-sitting again this week - a bit of a biffer this one though, a full-on bulldog called Henry.  We'll see how that goes!
