On blackie, warm. Good way to settle nerves before last show of the year.

Drills and running on circum loop.

warm up, dn and in betweens.

Drills and fartleky stuff on shady edge of 2nd oval. Good to give drills some proper attention then try a few strides. Hot weather but the shaded grass felt cool especially as there was a wind. Looped around wetland then ran to Sly Fox where I had peppo tea then a game of hide and seek with Charlotte and Harry and big Paddy. Pudding waited for the moment when 2 year old peed his pants and all humans distracted to steal half a bun off the table. By the size of Pudding I think he is a master of timing.

On way home Jim pulled up in his car; he recognised my hat, supposedly. Except the only other time we've run into each other (a few days ago) I was not in a running hat. Maybe there is no on else who would run in an oversized mens cotton collared shirt and a light cotton skirt (knee length). It's my attitude to exercise clothing conventions that marks me out,

2 ascents of blackie. Too hot but good to push a bit.

Walked down to circum then did almost a full lap, felt ok. Jogged some of the way down, rest walking. Some nice "hello"s from other crazy people.

The walk down and bits.
