So yesterday I got a (late!) Bat Call and had to rush out
for work, then it was get home, do horses, back out for dog training class,
back home, collapse into bed. A
Wednesday Bat Call does actually give me an excuse for a missed blog!
It was tough old day and I was quite glad that no work came
up for me today (back out again tomorrow though).
I decided to give myself more miles and less difficulty by
taking the boys out separately.
Sometimes they are a little full on together, especially if you need to
put leads on at any point so it is nice to take them out on their own. It is good for them too, to not be reliant on
the other one all the time.
After sorting the horses mid-morning I took Hugo for a before
lunchtime walk. We went back to the path
we had tried the other day, I was still curious and wanted to get a bit further
along it. The verdict is that it is a
frozen day walk or a very dry summer walk.
It is VERY muddy all the way along.
It was nice today though. Hugo
found a tennis ball to carry and try to rip apart for a bit. The river was very high too!
I took Oscar out after a late lunch and raced the sunset
around our usual woods. I walked this walk
a lot faster and did a bit of light jogging to warm myself up as well. Oscar had a whale of a time and was
particularly keen on bashing through the undergrowth today – I think he liked
the crispy frozenness of it! He managed
to cover himself in burrs though, including about 15 in his ears which kept
sticking his ears together at the back of his head. Crazy boy!
I’ve decided not to put too much pressure on myself regards
training. If I make a firm plan it lurks
in the corner being menacing and I find that if I then look directly at it I
get freaked out and depressive! So I am
just going to gently increase what I do and casually sidle through a vague kind
of plan without making eye contact with it.
6 miles walking in total today – with the second 3 miles
involving brisk walking and jogging. It
all felt light, fresh and easy.
A happy day and two tired doggies in the house tonight!
