Belenos, where are you?

Belenos, the Celtic God of the Sun, celebrated at Beltane in the northern hemisphere on May 1st (May Day). He's my man, I HATE winter, my mood has become as grey and drab as the sky, I think I may suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. I wish I could find a positive in all this but I really just can not wait for Spring. Training Plan - 11 km at 6:00 Actual - 11 km at 5:30 Weekly Total - 62 Km Depsite being bone tired I did not sleep to well last night, kept tossing and turning. I got up at about 06:30 and dozed on the couch watching murder mysteries on UKTV and reruns of The Simpsons until about 10:30. I finally dragged my running gear on and headed out for a run around the block at about 10:45. GOD, what a grind, boring scenery, trudging around just to get the mileage up, definitely one of those rare "only doing it because I have to runs". There was one bright point, in the small park there was this gorgeous little chocolate brown puppy bounding after me, you know that little hoppy run they do when they are little. I eventually stopped running to allow the owner to retrieve him, I had a joke with him and said that if I didn't stop the dog would have followed me home. Like I said it was a grind, so I had to do a few laps of the park, so I ran into the puppy again. The owner picked him up and his little legs where churning in thin air :-), it was a cavalier king charles crossed with a pug!! sounds awful but he really was an adorable little thing, all this from a cat person as well. I think the owner must have thought he had bought himself a right little chick magnet, sorry buddy, I really was only interested in the puppy. Aghhh, have I mentioned I hate winter, so grey, dreary and drab, I really must get my chimney cleaned so I can have a fire. I can not wait to get to the Gold Coast and feel that lovely warm sun on my face, only a week to go. Wow, I had a right old belly ache today, sorry about that.
