Holiday panthering

[ju-ju-]

I'm having a much needed rest panthering about on the beach at mums with my boy. Here is a piccy combo.

what are you all up to for half term and this BH weekend?

Happy panthering

Morning Ju and boy 😃 Sounds idyllic there. Just the thing for recharging the batteries

I had family drop by yesterday unannounced, plus I already had two dogs in tow, so it was a bit full on as I had to prepare meals and walk dogs. We managed to get a good stint in at the park with kids and dogs

I was up before the larks this morning, dogs walked and my bacon sarni eaten before dawn. I'll probably be asleep by lunch time. Plot visit abandoned but I hope to escape for a run later once the dogs have gone home. I will be ready I think

I feel exhausted reading that.... just off for a 😴

That looks like a gorgeous place to recharge the batteries and get some well deserved rest a la panther. Hope you're having a wonderful time.

We're away in the caravan, but it's been pouring since dawn and the forecast says it'll continue that way till dusk. I foresee a lot of chilling and book reading, with only a short run inserted somewhere.

Thankyou!!!! It's been raining here too ( Cornwall) but it's so gorgeous, I'm v lucky. Have fun and enjoy the caravanning 😎

Hi Ju. Been off mountain biking on a course called "follow the dog" in the midlands. It's a fantastic trail through a place called Cannock chase. It's changed so much over the years and hundreds of people go there. We did a cheeky little 12 miles yesterday. I was also out with my youngest boy. Glad you had a good time. It's always good to get out. Jase 🚴🏻

Thanks Jase and sounds like you've been having lots of fun too!!

It looks idyllic down there in Cornwall. Such an atmospheric shot over the sea. Great to be spending time with your family.

MrsMarkyD has been away at camp, so it's been pretty domesticated for me. Notice the 10km run I snuck in, though

Hmm, take my buddy (with brain tumour) to Southampton hospital so that he can see his Dad (brain injury). Paperwork. Gardening. Mow lawns. Watch Dr Who with firstborn. Bayer Newbury 10km run, very hot and hard work. Bath. Strip beds & laundry. More laundry. Welcome second-born home from camp. Get chip-time, over 1 hour. Disappointment. Empty airing cupboard. Evening service. Make beds. Early night. Weeding. Scrub front patio. Help first born with 'A' level revision. Remove tick from second born. More paperwork. Plan Summer Fete and stall.

Looking forward to a quiet day back at work

I love the photos! We had our bank holiday Thursday last week. The weather was glorious, but I was mostly stuck at work. At least I have a terrace right outside my office, so I've been spending lots of time working in the sun.

[ju-ju- Marathon in reply to C3PO]

That must be lovely??

[skysue16 Half Marathon]

Looks wonderful busy, busy here with the B&B (day 16 of 18 consecutive days - then next weekend away!!).

[ju-ju- Marathon in reply to skysue16]

Gosh that is a tough job, I don't envy you!! I hope you get some downtime 😎

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to ju-ju-]

Yes, a weekend on Mull but not exactly a rest because we have a Munro to conquer

[misswobble Marathon]

I used to be in your line of work Sue. I didn't run then though. You have to stick to your post don't you 😃 I miss it but I did get a guest a few weeks ago by default. One of my biggest regrets was losing my visitors book in the house move 😞

[skysue16 Half Marathon in reply to misswobble]

We love it, despite the hard work, it is so interesting meeting folk from all around the world

[roseabi Ultramarathon]

Lovely photos! Glad you're getting your much deserved rest.

This weekend I got trigger-happy over at the London2Brighton 2018 ultramarathon website. Oops.

[benwill Marathon in reply to benwill]

My other half did a cakathon run as well, i added her picture in as well. Just so you can look at that medal!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to benwill]

I do rather fancy going in for one of those Cakeathons! Is your missis trying to eat that medal?

[benwill Marathon in reply to roseabi]

she had eaten all the cake! so what else would you do!

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to benwill]

Fair enough

[roseabi Ultramarathon in reply to benwill]

omg I love it!!!

I took my younger son to see Mat Fraser as Richard III... now hang on, there's a running link... Mat Fraser used to be one of the presenters of the BBC Ouch! disability podcast (he has foreshortened arms due to thalidomide) and that's my favourite running audio accompaniment (very funny, very down to earth). Even better I spotted his old co-presenter Liz Carr in the audience.
