this week i have been mostly running to and from work
well not every day
its the start of my back to backs to toughen me up a bit

3hrs run home in the pitch black x-c, canal path and road
shower
bit of tucker
5hrs sleep
up at 4am
bit of tucker
3hrs reverse route run starting 5am

bit of tucker

only downside was not being able to take charlie..i'm in the doghouse

Hats off to you David

I would not dare. It would be round the ring road or through the roughest part of the city.

Or is that just a cop out? You have got me thinking.

I'm really full of admiration for anybody that can do something like a 3hour commute to work and then the same back! I can't even face the prospect of 5 there and back in the dark at this time of year.

Thats fantastic, aside from the fact its 6 hours on feet, I would really struggle mentally with getting myself up for that second run. Keep at it.

Hi David,
Your collie is beautiful:) When I was growing up we had a border collie named Toby and your picture made me think of him. I am so glad that you were able to take him in and give him a good home! God bless you:)

Fast show - i like it. The long run to and from work, i am impressed. It's got me thinking... But will somebody please think of the dogs, bless them.

ultra collie said...

julie - thanks for your kind words. but i didnt say it was a good home ;)

andrew - thats the downside but i look upon it as a bit of let up on his ageing joints

Julie said...

Hi David,
You are pretty funny:) I don't know you but the fact that you took Charlie in leads me to believe that you have a kind heart!! I also like your sense of humor:)

kate said...

no, nothing like causality, much, much more boring ;)

ultra collie said...

julie - you need a sense of humour with a collie :)

kate - i bet it packed full of thrills and gossip really

thanks for the cheery note and tip about cars and the like. i'll bear it in mind.

How do they get to spam when they need a password? I didn't think spammers were that intelligent. DELETE.

Dave, I'm still impressed. Keep it up fella.
