Back out there...

Today was the first time in 10 days, after a sprained ankle, that I was able to run with the pack. The skies were blue, a fabulous Autumnal day, and the ground albeit wet was not too muddy. We were joined by a new pack member, who initially wasn't sure about the running element to his walk, but soon got the idea and we were able to enjoy a gentle 5km run across the countryside, finished by a ball chuck.

This little guy to the left is a rescue and not quite in his 'power' as a well adjusted dog, but Zulu (middle) looked after him during the run and encouraged him to be part of the pack and come when recall was necessary.  Masai (right) is in 'heel-run training' with me preparing for our Mudman race in December, which he wasn't that happy about, but released him every few minutes and brought him to heel so he could get some play time out of the run. It was a harder run than in the past month as I seem to have lost a lot of fitness over the past 10 days but my body, mind and soul were happy to be out there again.  

A great start to the week... gorgeous doggy and earth energy, beautiful weather - so grounding and connecting!

A little something to share from a very wet, muddy Saturday walk...

Sending Autumnal Love to you all.
