Darn blast, I jinxed it big time, when I gave you the last Miss MoneyPenny update. The very next day, she puked and pooped, both with blood. So vet booked and visited today. Blood tested which showed potential pancreatitis and more blood sent of to a lap for other checks/tests. Ultrasound booked for Monday to double check.
Here's a wee snap of her as she is falling asleep when they sedated her so they could draw blood as she a big jumper/wiggler.
If you ever need a vet in Southern Spain let me know, as they were so brilliant with Penny and explained everything to me.

Miss MoneyPenny update: she is much better now and is eating her kibble, little and often, and we have even had a poop today. Though she's lost a fair amount of weight, that we need to get back on her steadily over the next weeks.
Here she playing cute and innocent after a bit of a bark at some kids in the distance. And Paddy being the good boy that he is just checking on the kids and wondering if it's the time to run into HQ (one "good" thing to come out of his fear, is that he runs into HQ if something scares him, instead of barking)

Even when sick she still have the look of a entitled, majestic and served on mutt, who got us wrapped around her tiny paws. As butter wouldn't melt some would say. I'll say eyeballs will melt, because she shortly afterwards she let one rip ...
Her wee little belly must be doing somersaults and she is clearly starving, but we are only feeding her a little bit at the time until we are sure she can keep it inside.

Update on wee Miss MoneyPenny. She had a full night's sleep, no puking. She is much more perky, though still weak and drank on her own accord. She also eat, first time in 3 days, some cooked chicken with a boiled potato with interest (30min later and it's still within her). She lost a fair amount of weight, poor soul. She was very happy to see me when me and Paddy came back from our run.

Here's a snap of our little sick girl, fast asleep on Paddys' bed. Her stomach is talking away still. She haven't eaten for two days now and on the vet recommendation she should only be offered water now and again, untill drugs does the job.

Today's run was a trip down memorylane. Found a playlist on the streams called - Atlantic 252. Back in the 80s, I had a clock radio and loved at night going up and down the AM/MW/LW dial. Even attached a longer aerial so it was easier to tune into 1440, Radio Luxembourg, and later Atlantic 252. Laying in my bed, not daring to move, listening to Top 20 on Sundays until after midnight, with my one ear bud, finger on the dial just keeping the signal locked for best reception. Even with the quality being so low and the static I really got to listen to some good tunes that way ;)

After a near miss, the wee Spanish mutt had a trip to the vet. This sadly means for the next few months there will be no more running or walkies in new and unchecked areas. Because she and I walked straight through a row of pine processionary caterpillars. Lucky I had shoes on, she didn't.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_processionary
You don't want to touch them as the allergic reaction is extremely painful and for pets who get the little furry hairs on their tongue, it could be deadly, at best they need to get some of their tongue cut off. As the vet said it's like a fire in their mouth. Just a FYI so not do a search for what it looks like when a dog is suffering.
Luckily, nothing to report, as the reaction would be instant, but as the vet said better safe than sorry. They were also surprised that the caterpillars are out this early, the joy of fecking up the environment, eh.

Just watched this, Totally FKT | Ultra Runners Chase the Pennine Way Record
Well worth your time if you enjoy #Hiking #Running #TrailRunning #UltraRunning #PennineWay

Watching Cocodona 250 on IG. It is showing really why I'm starting to love ultra trail running so much. They are all so nice to the supporters, volunteers and the other runners, really like a group of friend out and about. Good example from HardRock 100 when Courtney was setting course record, she had time to stop to talk to a fan, a small girl, while "sprinting" for the line. Though at this year's Cocodona the people who ran one aid station, after 80miles, were really mean, they didn't have the normal camping chairs, they had comfy sofas in the tent ;)

Today's celebratory "I have reached level 55" run, got a wee bit derailed... So you have to live with a snap of yesterday run up and above the clouds.

Either Spanish radio stations work with some funky frequencies or our car radio is having a meltdown.

And I arrived to freshly prepared pancakes done by the mighty fine lass. I hope @Lee6 approves

Well thanks to the Orange Loon who is keen on world destruction, sleep didn't reach the required hours last night. Therefore I was somewhat happy that a storm had caused loads of fallen trees and branches in the forest, so it was more walking than running. Though it felt more like a tough mudder event, bar the mud. So I got a full body workout with all the ducking and climbing through and over fallen trees. I even stepped on one branch with my left foot, this lifted it up and I wacked my right shin hard as I was bringing my right leg forward. I bailed out and took the road instead of "crawling" through the rest of the forest trails. This is where I took my ear pods out, so I could hear the traffic easier, and learned back at HQ that I have a hole in my secure zipped up pocket... I need a siesta, do they do them in France too?

Grand 10k that became 12k because of cows on the trail. I also for some reason unbeknownst to even myself, I decided that it would be a good idea to "send it" on the first part. The trail was great but the surface was very uneven and just drained me. So after I had to detoured around the cows and a farm track that has been plowed away. I was drained and didn't have much left for the last 2km back to HQ, since for another reason I forgot to drink and fuel up beforehand. Other than that great run and would love to run more around here.

Not something I'm used to, run 3.5k in a straight'ish line and I can still see where HQ is parked up. Normally 100m into the run and any sign of HQ is gone. Today's run was among farm fields and orchards, sadly the wonderful smell of the wildflowers under the trees were impossible to enjoy because of the massive pig farms <gags> else it was enjoyable and I could see the snow capped Pyrenees in the distance where we will be in a few days.

5k around a bird sanctuary, this area of Spain is so full of Storks that they have to live in highrises ;)
Tomorrow we are in Amber wind warning so I think it would be a good day for a rest day, before I try out a more technical and longer run. Leg should be recovered by then as it felt very good today.

Another steady and easy she goes run on some farm track and forest roads that ended up on the rail trail again. Leg is feeling good, but I shouldn't be tempted to "send it" just yet, a few more easy runs before going off road again, is the safe option here.

Just a wee gentle run along a rail trail, not pushing hard yet. But there was some jumping over a stream, battle through some undergrowth and a visit to a wee Ermita to test out if the leg is better. When walking it's all good, but running down hill it still moan. So it is clearly worse than what I thought and need a few more "easy does it" days to get fully mended. Lovely running here would like to come back an try out the more technical and longer routes/trails up in them there hills.

Well my asphaltphobia of tarmac didn't get cured today. First time in 2 years of running I get an injury and of course it happened on the dreaded flat, smooth and boring road surface. Somehow I landed wrong with my right leg and pulled something above my knee which sent pain round to the back of the leg and right up to my gluteus sexius, as the lass calls it ;)
Good news, I was thinking about walking the last 2k as Paddy boy was looking a bit hot under the collar... well more his black fur... so the run wasn't too ruined. And I still managed to get back to HQ in under two hours as I had hoped to do the run in.
Otherwise it was a good run and we crossed paths with two lads on mountain bikes a few times and we were greeted with friendly big smiles every time.
Now stretching and relaxing and feeding.

Set out to do 6k, but at 2k to go the trail became too overgrown to run and then just puff gone. I tried to get back to HQ via an olive grove which turned into an abandoned garden with stone paths, terraces and holders for what I guess to be for torches. I think it would have looked amazing in its hay day. Ended up being 5km but jolly good fun on a trail that must be for mountain bikers too and in places I was in awe that they could ride downhill and stay on track and not into a tree.

So the choice of having 5k up and 10k down turned out to the the wrong decision/direction. As I got two nice cooling river crossing right from the start and had to run the rest of the 15k with wet feet. I should have gone the other direction and gotten a nice cooling foot bath 500m from the end.

Well that's gonna hurt tomorrow, best have a rest day then. Set off, took a wrong turn and ended up on a main road. Figure it would be easier to stay on for a km, even if it was the dreaded tarmac, since it wasn't a busy road. This deflated me a bit, so I turned to some good solid long haired cow punk for some serious air drum and guitaring that is the fantastic band called Disneyland after Dark (D-A-D). There might have been some very out of tune screaming, since I can't sing, along the way too.
