Through the winter months


Eric is nearly always game to go out for a run, he just needs someone to prompt him - this is where I come in.

Towards the end of summer I was in need of making better use of my time; I find going for an early morning run is a good way of getting everything flowing in the right direction.

In the end we kept this morning routine up in September at the start of the new school year (2011). I would wake Eric up at 06:15 and he would then drag me out the front door. We became so familiar with our 3.9km route through Horton Country Park that we could run it when the dark of winter descended on us. It has helped us considerably that we've had a very dry winter; we seldom had to slosh through muddy patches and we only cancelled one run due to rain!!

Monday to Friday, week after week, we have kept up our 3.9km routine. It has been a blessing doing something positive together, and it has helped restore my rocky relationship with Esther's unflattering scale.
