Thursday, Saturday and Monday (today)

Thursday at the Dentist's - Those of you who were at the most recent 'do' may recall the discussion regarding my temporary cantelever dental bridge. Well, it turned out to be significantly more temporary than expected - I managed to pull it off (out?) with a piece of chewing gum. Thursday saw me at the dentist's having it more securely fixed. Sitting in the waiting room, I heard a familiar voice emanating from the Xray room - it was Julie's Recruit, Mick M. He was engaged in conversation with one of the practice support staff and was demonstrating the classic mechanic's sharp intake of breath and head shake as he gave his diagnosis on the condition of the Xray machine. Cut to the chase:- We had a good old chat - he is still an avid follower of our blog - he keeps running, although he spends a lot of his time supporting a number of close family members who have serious health problems - he hopes to turn out again with us on a regular basis, when circumstances allow - and he sends everyone his best wishes. Good to see you Mick, let's hope we see you with your legs muddy very soon. 

Saturday - Just the Come-back Bros were out. YJ was going well but keeping off any seriously rough ground to avoid the fd thing. I trailed along slightly behind him and covered a good 10 miles to his 12 on an out and back route to Brinscall Woods. 

Monday (today)  - Managed the climbs from the Top Barn, five minutes faster than my first come-back run nine days ago, in spectacularly awful conditions. Character building!
