Chamfron Outings

Chamfron grandchild, Widgeon Hill Ceilidh was looking absolutely fabulous at Three Counties show.  Chamfron Tizona had another spin around the tough (and very wet) Man Versus Horse course, finishing in less than four hours.

I had the vet out a fortnight ago to check the boys out, we blood tested Spider for Cushings and EMS, he was negative for Cushings but had a hideously high insulin level and was quite pottery.  Cactus has been consistently off in front on a bend and actually on the day of the visit was clearly lame.  He was no more lame after flexions so we X-rayed his foot and there were changes in his right fore that might be the cause.  However the vet declared him FAT and felt that the best course of action was to get them off the grass to see if that helped.  We all need to eat less and exercise more.  I can't say I've taken that advice myself this week, I guess falling off the walking wagon once in a while is to be expected.  The reality is mentally I feel like crap and my back... well actually all of me... hurts, lots.  It would appear that moving more is no longer an optional extra for me.

Keep Moving Week 23

Steps done in the Borders on Monday before a trip to the cinema to see The Salt Path, loved the book, the movie not so much.  Still entirely confused by the random rabbits which were more "Pets at Home" than anything like wild type and the swimming with the tropical fish.  Finished work early on Tuesday so did my steps around Dumfries for old times sake, got soaked just like old times.  Then finished the week crewing for Rebecca at the Scottish Thistle 50km at Longnewton.

Keep Moving Week 22

Been working in Dumfriesshire this week and have seen far more scenic parts than I did living there for twelve years.  Sadly the Travel Lodge was not one of them and it was the sad death of my fitness streak on my phone (141 days) - a long day and nothing but a busy main road at dusk, it just didn't seem a cunning plan.
