Llamas on Boxhill

Training must be tough, I have started hallucinating. There I was trying to do a mid week run down the track to High Ashurst and I saw 2 llamas. Now I am use to seeing long horn cattle, black sheep, green woodpeckers and the normal animals like foxes, deer, dogs, horses even badgers. But until now I have never seen llama.

Sarah has not had a good week, this week. It started with her feeling terrible, so I tried to help and do my bit by taking the kids to school, then getting home from work and getting them off to bed to give Sarah a break and a rest. Then on Thursday she went into hospital for a gallbladder operation. Better out than in when it causes you so much pain. So its gone, but thats not the end of the story! She still needs to recover and still needs another ERCP sometime to remove the stents put in, in the first ERCP.

So this week I missed Running club night. I have run twice so far and biked 1 night. I need to get back into the swing of more runs. I have managed to pick it up abit this weekend. John and I did the Wimbledon 10km. A lovely day for a run, sunny and warm, what a change from the recent weather. I then did 13km around the usual loop from the house, didn't quite have the motivation to continue on to do a longer run.

Back to the plan next week though and no excuses. Sarah is home again, drinking and eating, which is great to see as she has not done much eating and has only been drinking water/lemon/sugar for what seems like ages. Granny and grandpa are coming up for a week to help out, so I am oping to get some training runs done and to get back on plan.

The plan calls for the longest long run to date. 35.2km ohhhhh, thats going to take sometime!!
