Sunday 6th January 2013
Was up a bit late again at 8am.  Took pooch out for a 1.3 mile walk.  Then got a few jobs done before going for a big run with my cousin Jonothan.  We did just over half of the Grindleford Gallop starting at Grindleford and running to Bakewell - I did it in normal running shoes as I normally do but swiftly realised that I need trail shoes so I ordered some of those too!!!  As well as having the right shoes Jonothan had one of those snazzy water things that goes on your back - I've got one somewhere but have never used it.  Will try it out soon I reckon.

Didn't realise but you can full screen Endomondo as well!  Duh!

Absolutely knackered after it but it was good fun sort of!  Took pooch out at night and that was me done for the day.   Considering the terrain I reckon the overall average of 12:20 is okay.


Monday 7th January 2013
Up at 5:45.  Took pooch out to fetch papers.  Got folks up.  Got to work for 8:20 all good so far.  Mentioned to JR that we should have stopped at the Crispin Inn at Great Longstone as I'd got a tenner in me pocket.   Had a look to see if they had a website and they have; http://www.thecrispingreatlongstone.co.uk/

Even more ace if you can get more ace than that is that on their webpage they have Monsal Dale Trail video that has the spot underneath the waterfall from Water-cum-Jolly that we used to fish at back in the day - nostalgia on tap!

Bit of an epic fail in the evening - pooch didn't want to go and I thought it a bit cold so went to bed early but still woke up knackered.

Tuesday 8th January 2013
Up at 5:45 again but absolutely knackered.  Took pooch up town and back 2.6 miles and we ran a bit on the way back.  Then it all started going a bit awry - broke the cafetiere, hoovering up the glass bits the back wheel of the hoover fell off.  Okay, carry on.   Am in Cambridgeshire tonight so won't be running tonight short of a miracle!

Visited Ursula's St Neots group which was as impressive as ever.  Took a chap from the Warehouse team to see it, young Mihir nice chap even if he does support Leicester City.  Got back at 10:20 so didn't go running.

Wednesday 9th Janaury 2012
Got up at 5:45 - just.  Got up at 4am to make sure Phil got up as well - very tired now.  Took pip up town and back to get the papers.  Off to High Green to see Lindsay Gillot in a short while - everything on track so far.  Got to group after a lot of meetings at work (or at least the two of them felt like a lot of meetings) lost a pound and a half which means am still 4.5lbs heavier than mid December but have hit the booze a bit last weekend so only got self to blame.  Anyroad, we are where we are as some wise fella once said.  5 mile run at 10:22 pace to finish day (nearly finished me as well).

Thursday 10th January 2012
Could not get out of bed.  6:05 before got downstairs.  Took pooch on the mini-loop walk for a mile and a half.   Didn't Endomondo it but was half asleep in my defence.  Toaster blew up today - everything going wrong this week - very odd.

Night time - according to MyAsics it should have been a rest but I did a 3 miler at bang on 10min/mile pace which considering I was having a job to catch my breath with the cold I was pleased with.

Friday 11th January 2012
6am I got up.  Got lil Phil up at 4am first, though.  Took pooch for a walk but she wasn't having any - half a mile in total - too cold for pooches! Another walk in the evening, day done.

Saturday 12th January 2012
Up early. Pooch walked.  Took a load of cak to recycling centre. Hoovered.

Golf at noon - took the money - a lot less three putts this week.  Took Pip a walk in evening up to cemetery and back with Phil - all good.
