Frogs

As promised, though somewhat later than intended, here's a photo of one of the visiting frogs.

Tangent reclining

When I emptied this month's photos from my camera, I noticed that the majority of the shots of Tangent were of him sleeping or relaxing. He is certainly a dog who enjoys his comfort and hugs, but he is not quite as lazy as this post may imply! He's not allowed on the furniture unless invited. Going by the amount of photos with him on various chairs, I suspect I may need to address how often he is invited.

Tangent's credit

As Tangent went on all of my training runs with me for the 10k, but obviously could not run the actual race, I thought it only fair to share my medal with him:

Not looking terribly impressed.

Bristol 10K

Well, after not really taking the training for Bristol 10k particulary seriously (we're talking beer most evenings and take aways in the week leading up to the run, as well as neglecting to actually run for about two weeks before) I ran the whole thing in 1 hour and 6 minutes. Definately not an Olympian effort, but I was still happy with it. It has made me wondering what my time may have been if I'd actually trained. But then it is always easy to say 'I didn't really train/revise etc.' after the event! A combination of the euphoria of completing my longest race to date and guilt for not really taking it seriously, has spurred me on to consider running the Bristol half-marathon in September - I sure as hell won't be able to get away with not training for that one!
