We're back, well sort of!!!

I managed my first proper half hour walk with the dogs on Saturday and have just been on our second, we managed an hour this time but weren't walking all of that time as apparently I chose the busiest time for bike riders, which provided some entertainment with one crutch, one dog that likes to chase and one that is completely oblivious to bikes!! I must admit though, I didn't realise how good it would feel to be able to get outwith them again!!

We are off to the Rocket Relay Seminar in March and I decided that I didn't really want to take Elliot with him having not done any training for three months! Nat has kindly offered to run him for me until I am properly back on my feet (sadly she can't run Jem as she is too much of a mummys girl!!) so whilst she got the pleasure of running him, I got the pleasure of watching him! I have been working on him dropping his ball for the tuggy and so decided to use this opportunity to compare him running to his tuggy with him running to a second ball (something I had been working on before I broke my ankle!). Bless him tho, he proved that this was a rather pointless exercise as I got an average time of 1.96 for jump, box, jump when he was running to the tug and 1.90 when he was running to the second ball. For the full runs I got 4.48 exactly (that is a good time for him!) when he was running to either!!! At least he was consistent!! It also gives us some start times to see how much he improves when we put in to practise what we learn in March!
