Canix Neolithic Half Marathon 6th May 2012

Another fine run from the team.  This time I had a better idea of the route so I didn't pull so much and let Mark run at his own pace.
Before we started I met some nice dogs, and there were a lot of border collies.
The first water station had clean water for me to have a bath, but I wasn't keen on that.  I little further along Mark found a deep muddy puddle which was far more pleasant to cool off in and drink from.  I think I stopped at 5 (or was it 6?) muddy puddles.

Lakes Trip Easter 2012

A great trip to the Lakes for 24 (or was it 25 - we were never sure how many) juniors and ther parents, staying again at the camping barn and field at Causey Foot Farm near Keswick.
Highlights for me were the lambs, and the long walks.

Canix in Salcey Forest (Northampton)

A good day. Mark took Gran, and I rode in the back where I can get enough room to stretch out.
It was a nice warm day, so the race was started 30 mins early - Mark wasn't happy as he wasn't warmed up, but I was ready and joyfully joined in the barking at the start.
Mark thinks he may have set off too fast, but I was enjoying myself and kept fully focused as I went past the other dogs
Most of the dogs were very friendly, but for some reason I preferred to growl and snarl at them.
