Phil, Andy & Jake go jogging

Took the children down to St Peter's park this afternoon. Grace was on her usual go-slow mode. I have never known a child who can walk so slowly as her. A walk which ordinarily would take 5 minutes (for example going to Tesco's or Starbucks) will take 20-25 minutes with her. I am glad to say that it is not only me who has had thoughts of murder (especially when you've got 2 other smaller kids) - as Catrin confessed to me that she has also had murderous thoughts.....Grace stops every few paces - to look at a rock, stone, flower, her feet etc. etc. You can holler all you like and threaten her with limbs being amputated but it'll make no difference. She is as stubborn as they come.

This evening I did my 2nd jog around Arthur's Seat - this time with Andy & Phil. It was a good run- and I think we all enjoyed it. It's amazing that we are still all running. I'm sure we'll be regreting the challenge that we set ourselves that night in Cloisters.....
