Didn't get out for walk yesterday - unless you count shopping in the morning (both therapy and necessity!!). I was in Tesco's when a got a phone call from my husband - "Demetri's been on the phone how do you fancy 'all you can eat Chinese' at 2 pm?" Well what is a girl to do?!! I chose the Chinese...... I made myself designated driver though, so didn't add alcohol to my sins. It was a very enjoyable afternoon.
To compensate (a little) I promised that I would get up early today and go for a walk. I did, unfortunately the weather was not as good as yesterday!!!! I used mapmyrun to plot the route and I think it was about 2 and half miles - not easy to be accurate because some of the route is in the park and the paths are not shown on this website.
I took the dog with me, although I'm not sure he was impressed with the pouring rain. All was going well until....... well I'll give you a bit of history about my dog, he's a cocker spaniel about 2 and half now, he was a rescue dog and I've had him since he was 10 months old. He was never socialised as a puppy so is very very wary of other people, therefore when I take him out he (usually) sticks to me like glue. However today, for whatever reason (the rain, the fact I was walking faster than usual and I was concentrating on my walking) he must have lost sight of me and decided to walk the other way!!! That meant that I had to back-track my route to get him back. I soon found him, as I went round the corner he spotted me and came running towards me like he'd been lost for days!!!!!!! Any way I learn by my mistakes and in future the dog stays on his lead.
All this was to say that I'm not sure how long I walked in the end, I think it was still about 2 and half miles and took me 50 mins. I was drenched!!, but after a hot shower and a lovely cup of tea I feel good and pleased with myself that I actually got up and went walking in somewhat inclement weather.....
