Amorous Dogs and Mini-Drill Sergeants

It was an absolutely, drop dead gorgeous evening - high teens, clear skies, light breeze. The whole she-bang.

There had to be at least six people on the track tonight, with a further dozen or so dogs and their owners milling about in the infield.

One particular male golden retriever kept me entertained with his less than graceful attempts to... er... make friends with some of the lady dogs present. Let's just say there was one very embarrassed dog owner who kept having to intervene...

Also of interest tonight was a mum running with her two children - one of who looked to be about six who ran beside her and another 1 or 2 year old who sat in his jogging stroller the entire time yelling "faster mummy, faster!" If only we all had a drill sergeant like that on our team!

I had not one but two of those drill sergeants when my twins were still in their pram. "Faster, daddy, faster!" was their standard shout.

Sounds like a great run! I'm not sure I would have been able to keep running if I'd seen the dog... uh... making friends... with those people though!
