So first day of schools hols; 17 mental days at work and a puppy all the time thinking- I’m losing my fitness ( and probably my mind). So today it had to be. Usual running routine at dawn shot to pieces having been up and round the garden for puppy toilet stops since 4:15, flaking on sofa them up again at 6:30 so I’d had breakfast which I never do pre run. I spied my chance about an hour later, enticed into crate with Kong and cream cheese and off I set. Slow, take it slow; aim for 20 mins and see how you go. I managed 25 without dying and it just squeaked under 8 mins per km which is always my goal ,’ must start with a 7! Must start with a 7!’ Can’t say I enjoyed it but didn’t hate it either. Pooch pleased to see me afterwards! Future running buddy me thinks

Puppy! So cute. Well done escaping and running on so little sleep. He/she will be running with you soon.
