Our one dog, Spiral, was hit by a car on Wednesday and is in hospital with a badly broken leg. He will spend the weekend there while they wait for the swelling to go down so that they can put the leg in a cast. We miss you Spiral!
I bought new running shoes yesterday. I went to buy another pair of Nike Pegasus 28, but bought the Nike Citius +4 instead. They are incredibly comfortable and fit my shape of foot perfectly. I’ll give some feedback once I’ve done some proper running in them.
I’m running the Sasol Half Marathon tomorrow morning. It is a 6AM start so I will be up early to get there in time. I have a non-running injury to a muscle on my left side just below my ribs. It’s been hampering my running like a broken rib would and I hope it will be fine for 21.1km tomorrow morning.
That is all from me at the moment, have a splendid weekend everyone!


Wishing Spiral a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteHope the "honeymoon" injury holds up tomorrow. Have a fantastic race.
Great photo of Spiral! hope he is recovered soon.
ReplyDeleteThose are some nice-looking shoes...I'll be interested in what you think. Best wishes to your pup and good luck on your race! I hope the muscle behaves. Honeymoon injury, huh? Haha
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your puppy. I hope Spiral heals very quickly.
ReplyDeleteHave a great race tomorrow! I hope the rib does not make it unpleasant.
Sending warm thoughts and well wishes to Spiral this morning!!!

ReplyDeleteSorry spiral is in the hospital..hopefully they know how to make him feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your half.
Wish a speed recovery to you and spiral. Good luck with the half.
ReplyDeleteI hope your dog will recover soon!
ReplyDeleteHow can a race start at 6:00 am? In this perspective, you'll have a pre-race breakfasf at 3:30 am :)
I hope your muscle will go well. Good luck on the Sasol Half Marathon!
Sorry to hear about Spiral. Hope he has a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteHope the both you are speedy, Spiral in his recovery and you in the race.
ReplyDeleteOh no poor Spiral! Glad it wasn't worse, poor thing. Enjoy the new shoes and the race!
ReplyDeleteHope Spiral is okay - and I love his name.
ReplyDeleteAre you cutting a hole in your new shoes?
Heal well Spiral!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the half marathon - isn't that like a sprint for you??? ;-)
BTW, I wear the Pegasus 28 on trail because the trail version fit my foot weird - it is OK, but not extremely stable.
Wishing Spiral a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteSpiral is such a cutey! I love when a dog looks like a dog - no bows or curls, just 100% muscly doggy fun. I hope he's back to his usual energetic self really quickly and has no complications.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Poor pup! I hope he heals quickly :) I can imagine it's quite stressful for you, too.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well in your race!
Hope you heal quickly and your doggie, too! Interested in your review of the shoe.
ReplyDeleteoh no! I hope Spiral recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the new shoes. And I hope your side feels better, and give Spiral some extra treats when he gets home! Cheers!
