Sunday: In the morning, it was sunny so we took Goldie on a big walk around yesterday's sodden cross country course. It was still wet. In the far corner there was a bunch of hunters training their gun-dogs to retrieve and return. GSPs and the like. Wonderful to see working dogs respond to commands and clearly having such a good time. Afternoon: ran a couple of very dodgy laps of Princes Park - feeling the effects of yesterday's race. Met afterwards at the dog off-leash section of Princes Park where dog owners socialise their dogs. Always good for a laugh. All kinds of dogs including an English Mastiff, huge great dog.
Monday: pool and spa to soothe aching legs.
Tuesday: running session around Royal Park, meant to be easy but Tony the coach pushed it out a little. At least we went somewhere different.
Wednesday: rashly promised to run with Theo and the crew. They ran way too fast.
Thursday: one of last night's crew pulled out after one warm-up lap because he ran too fast last night! The rest ran 4 x 11 minutes hard - close to 3ks each. I only managed three.
Friday: nothing. And I'm planning an easy weekend. We're going to the beach and we're going to visit Davy the foster greyhound at his new forever home!
