After a long day at work on Thursday, I set off with DD to do our 45 minutes interval running. It seemed quite tough for both of us (me sat down at my desk all day, and DD stood up all day at work), but we managed it. No training on Friday - a day off to rest and time for me to get the shopping done and a bit of crafting.
Then, when DH got home from work we packed the van and headed north for a sneaky night away. We headed for a spot we've used before - nice and quiet.
We had a bit of company with the sheep,but otherwise it was very peaceful.
We took Oscar for a short walk after we'd eaten, heading back as the rain started.
We must have been very tired, even Oscar, because it was mid morning before we got up. Oscar had stayed under the bed, in his den, and hadn't even bothered about going out. So, a bit of a late start for us, and a chance to go wandering in a new area.
We headed out past the Howgill fells and took a turning for Mallerstang, along a lovely single track road......
....with some lovely views ....
The weather was beautiful, so when we got back to the van we carried on walking in a different direction to take advantage of the nice day.
It was a fairly easy walk along a very good track.
We stopped for a drink and then headed back to the van.
We set off and parked up just outside Nateby, where we made a cup of tea and had lunch. And then time to head home after a lovely mooching day.
Sunday I was at a craft fair, so up early to get out to the venue at Scorton to get set up. It was a bit of a quiet day overall, but I sold a few things and got quite a few nice comments.
When I got home I had to do a quick change ready to go running with DD. Her training plan was to do a 7 mile run. As time was not on our side to drive out anywhere, we set off from the front door and ran to my mums! It was very tough to start with for me. But, neither of us gave up - we stuck to the intervals and arrived at my mums 1 1/2 hours later for refreshments! And DH came to pick us up so we didn't have to run home (thankfully).
DD saw parts of the area she didn't know about, and it was lovely to know that we'd managed the distance and achieved our goal for the day. Hard work, but worth it, even it meant a late night for all of us by the time we'd eaten when we got home.
Yesterday I took Oscar out on a fairly warm walk .....
....and again today, before going out for a run on my C25K training. I didn't do very well today - my legs felt very tired and I nearly gave up. I'm thinking I'll have to make sure I eat differently before heading out on a run to make sure I have enough energy.
And as DD is on the early shift this week it means I'm also up early to get things done before work. Things like getting new wooden shapes ready for my next craft fair at the local RSPCA centre on Sunday.
And now? Now I think it's time I got some sleep so I can survive tomorrow, and the rest of the weeks walking, running and crafting!
