Still coughing a bit...

but have put in a few decent runs over the last few days. Had Christmas Day off of course but went out for a 15k x-country run on Boxing Day and followed that with a steady 8k this morning. Jackson managed to catch a squirrel on today's run; once he'd killed it he carried it round with him for the next 30 minutes, looking very proud of himself and showing it off to all the other dogs. Fortunately he got bored of carrying the squirrel and finally put it down next to one his favourite swimming puddles. I managed to distract him by throwing sticks for him to retrieve and eventually he forgot about the squirrel and we carried on with the run.
It was a bitterly cold day today and I probably should have had more gear on than shorts and t-shirt but maybe it'll help me aclimatize for the Cold Water Swimming Championships which I'll be doing in a few week's time. Brrrrr
