Hip score

We've just got my hip score back in the post. It's pretty good, as you can see. A 2:2, so total of 4/106. Not quite a 0:0 (which is perfect), but as Mat says 'pefection is an imperfection in itself'!

Santathon 2009 - the run

Well today was the Santathon, so we all got our Santa suits on and went running.

Lucy and I have been on two runs in the week and we had a run with Bramley yesterday too. We were quite good running together, though I'm very keen to be at the front all the time, which Lucy says isn't right.

There was a lot of rain over night and the course, on the school field, was very wet and muddy, so as the course was four laps of the field Lucy decided it would be safer if she took me and Bramley separatly. This was fine with me because I got to stay with Mat and watch the people running past. Bramley ran the first lap, then I did the second, with a bit too much gusto, and Bramley did the last two laps, then we all finished together. Pip, who is Kate's dog, ran all the way, which is very good as she only has short legs.

I enjoyed myself lots and Lucy says we are going to do lots of training so that next year I can do the whole race.

Here is our team photo from before the race. There isn't one of us after, but you can imagine us looking a lot more muddy.
