Running

It's January, there's a lot of running (52 miles and counting), but it's also a treat to be out on such beautiful days. 

The dog is under house arrest for 10 days.  He has been having problems with his paw / leg and the vet wants him to rest and then see him again (basically, she can't work out what is wrong with him).  I don't think the dog is going to be very happy with the plan, he will be even less happy with the news that he isn't allowed to ever chase a tennis ball again, it causes too much stress on his legs.  Poor dog.  

Nearly finished the last assignment of the masters - just the dissertation to go (gulp), quite amazing how quickly it passes by. 

Today I'm grateful for: 
A beautiful winters day 
Park with the boys after school 
The youngest choosing a treat from the shop after school, only to say he didn't want it when the eldest complained that he wanted something else.  I was so proud of him supporting his brother (and giving him a kiss and cuddle as well).
