…is getting out of the front door.
This was so true tonight when I got home from work and it was throwing it down outside and I wanted nothing more than to curl up on the settee with my dog, cat and Duncan with a nice cup of tea and watch the TV.
The good thing about dog ownership is that you are forced to go out no matter how much you don’t want to and, to be honest, once I was out the door I really enjoyed my run.
The weather was awful though, especially up on the tops where it was blowing a gale. I didn’t even know it was windy until I got up onto George’s Lane.
One thing I realised when I got home is that, in my entire five mile run, I didn’t pass a single other person – great news as Ruby was well behaved for the entire run and didn’t try to chase anything – which brings me back to Sunday’s question of how do most dogs get their exercise on bad weather days?
The highlight of tonight’s run came on our way back home when we ran down from George’s Lane along the path to the west of Wilderswood. I noticed some eyes staring at us through the trees and thought it was sheep at first as I have seen some around there before but then two deer ran across the path right in front of us, only about 3 metres ahead, and joined the other staring eyes. I counted five of them altogether. I tried to get a picture of the glowing eyes but unfortunately the camera on my phone wasn’t good enough.
So all in all, I was pretty glad we went out tonight. Getting out of the door was definitely the hardest part.
Total distance – 5 miles
