Zoomies

I wasnt intending to run much this weekend, y’know the old let things heal thing but it was just so glorious out what else could I do?  Those crisp mornings at dawn are irresistable and not just for me they seemed to entice Murph into a world consisting of zooming around like an idiot. I was happy for him to zoom while I plodded, 5 miles on saturday and 10 today and I feel fine. Sometimes all you need is zoomies (and a plod)

Blurry zoom followed by charging leap – trick is to stand your ground and he will deviate at last second, if you move either side he will take you out without mercy

Happy zoomies

Still zooming

Ok i’ve slowed down a bit but i could go mental at any second

Hmmm day 2 of zoom? It’s still frosty

When the stream floods we ound a new way of crossing – he does it so gracefully compared to me. No-one as fallen in … yet

Getting ready to zoom – Fuel stop – 1 treat equals 10 minutes zoom

Just trotting trying to look photogenic

Prepare the zoomster!

And go!

The usual views

Back inland and heading home through the lanes

Chilling out on the afternoon cool-down walk (which unsurprisingly included zooming)

Perspective

I was planning to post again here a little more regularly  and then i didst because I never seem to find the time or inclination. maybe running doesn’t seem as important right now.  As long as I’m out with murph how quick we move doesn’t seem to matter so much.

And I think I’ve been right. Just reading up here and hearing others going through so much worse than the odd running injury puts things in perspective.  So yep we’ve been out putting in the miles ready for some big plans this year – assuming the body copes.  But at the end of the day what’s really important is just living life and enjoying it.

I got my fingers crossed for you Ceej!  Now enjoy some photos!

 

We’ve been out at dusk

Early morning struts

Played in the foam with our little buddy

Did out xmas day run and loved it!

Enjoyed the weather

Of course we posed

Visited old haunts

Checked out waterfalls

Saw more sunrises

And enjoyed more sunsets

And always climbed up so we could look back … before moving on
