The return of Patches the dog
Those who follow this blog will know that I do not like dogs. Well that's OK - dogs don't like me either. The same bloggers will also know that CB and KB aren't that fond of dogs (however Mrs. B loves them), so this weekend, against all odds, Patches the dog returned to chez Bedders for a couple of days, while Mr. and Mrs. Patches were away. Actually this time around, compared to last time at Christmas, when CB spent nigh on a whole week standing on the armchair for fear of being eaten or something, I can confirm that Patches has was warmly welcomed - after being bitten and licked a few times, you tend to get used to it.
In fact CB and Patches are now best mates. See pic.
BTW I also ran 11km yesterday and 12km today in quite breathtaking heat. In fact I was stopping after 5km each time to take on a drink (as usual at the moment I am carrying 1 litre SIS Blackcurrent/water mix). I as so pleased that this summer I am not training for an Autumn marathon. Tomorrow I will register for the Amsterdam half - nice and easy.........for all those training for Sept/Oct marathons, you have my admiration this year. Last year was a grotty summer - perfect for marathon training!
Seeing that the temps are predicted to be 35 + degrees in Holland over the next week, Family Bedders are off to cooler climes - south of France, to bit a bit of cool climate training.
