Dead mole and half dead butterfly

Good run round Reeuwijk, met the guy with springs under his feet again and again forgot to take a photo but did ask him this time what the idea was.  He says it's cause he had trouble with his knees and now he can run again.  Did some sprint intervals on the home strait with the Pocket Running Coach episode 12 which came round again on my podcast loop.

Month total

Usually my goals are kept track of on my Garmin site but since this was stolen and I haven't yet got round to replacing it I'm back to counting minutes run.  At a conservative estimate I run 1k per 7min 30 (usually faster according to my stats but don't want to overestimate my kilometer total). so with 349 minutes since the loss of the Garmin I can add 47k to the 99 I'd already logged which means I'm still (just) on target.

Fancy Foreigners

Had a couple of 'errands' which involved visiting workplaces in Reeuwijk today so decided to do them on my run.  On the way to the campingvan builder I spotted a very fancy looking duck and thought it was an escaped tame one but later I saw a whole flock of them in a field so they must be one of the many Scandinavian birds who apparantly come here to spend the winter in relative warmth.  (Photos later.)
Hmm, later, looking at the photos they look like totally different ducks from the first one but they are definitely different from the usual residents.

Cold start

Finally got over sulking about the missing Garmin and went out for a run this morning.  I am planning to get a new one and am still swithering about which model to get.

Start 8.55

  

After my morning run my Garmin was stolen from where I'd put it outside for 2 minutes to find the satellites while I put my shoes on for an afternoon dog run.  I spent some time running about searching ridiculously for it but it was really gone.  Went out for 15 minutes after finding an old watch to time it with, but no map, no miles logged...

Mile 9.01

Didn't take my belt with me so no photos.  Sproet and I went round the allotments first then I did a faster mile circuit round the park on my own.
