| Willans run with Dad. Had hoped we'd take it easy but Dad was setting a cracking pace at the start (he thought I was setting the pace), both of us were stuffed after the first big hill. Kept this pace going for the first 30mins and then Dad dropped off and I tried to keep it going but died up the last hill. Was a good run thou |

Mum made a bit of a detour on her cycle home from work and stopped by, she decided to have a run and did an impressive 2.22 for her first 500m, second 500m slightly less impressive |

| Hadn't planned on running today but the thought of spending another day sitting in the car got me out of bed. Was a nice morning, saw a couple of peacocks wandering down Plumpton road which was a bit random, then avoided the man walking his 6 Greyhounds down Redbank Rd |

Cameron started working at Cargills (meat works) this week so the conversations at the dinner table have been rather amusing (and at times not suitable for the dinner table). I wonder if he'll be a vego by the end of the six weeks. |
