Jasper feels the effects of the credit crunch

Nights last night...............

We set off for our daily run about one this afternoon. I wasnt to sure what route to take, after some deep conversation with jasper we decided to take in the 'foel' mountain. (its a favorite of ours but after a night shift its hard work)
The way jasper was running you could of been fooled into thinking he was the one that had been working nights. I know now that he was pacing himself, not like me........
After about 2hrs of running i was in a terrible state.
When Jasper normally completes a run with me he always gets a pork pie or a few slices of ham. I promised jasper if he would get me through the final difficult 30Min's of the run i would give him double pork pie and ham treat. Fair play to jasper he was a dog of his word. He didn't bark at any sheep and stayed right by my side until the end of the run. We finished the run in 2hrs 30 Min's (give or take a few Min's).
I wiped jasper down and let him in the house. Jasper run straight into the kitchen and sat up looking at the fridge. I opened the fridge and to my shock there was no pork pies or ham. I looked down at jasper gave him a brief lecture on the current economic down turn and how it has effected the price of ham and pork pies.
I think he was happy with the dog biscuit i gave him though.

Sarn Helen

I parked the car at the start of the sarn helen roman road. It was a good run, loads of sheep and cows on the route. Jasper was pulling on the lead to get at the farm animals but after i lost my temper with him he got the message. The run took about 1hr 30mins. I didnt do the whole route as i was just seeing what the route was like. I might do it tomorrow, i dont know. I will def being doing a extra long run tomorrow though.

Malvern Hills

Ran fromone side of the hills to the other and back again. There were loads of school kids running around the hills like idots. Didnt take jasper as i was seeing milly.
