Late run

I woke up at 6.00 am -- but so did Leo! So I couldn't sneak out like I usually do. I made him breakfast at 6.20 am and ten minutes later Sasha took over. So I left at 6.40 am today. It was more light than normal, obviously. Still pretty cold. Took a short course to be back in time.

A hawk

Nora said: "kijk eens wat een grote vogel!" and she was right -- there was a big raptor in our front yard. It was eating a smaller bird, and we watched it for a few minutes until it flew away.

Consensus is that this is probably a Cooper's Hawk, possibly a young one.

"Leo, nee!"

I thought it might be a good idea to teach Leo "no", or "nee" in Dutch. Sometimes when I'm feeding him, he spits out his food with great delight. Funny for him but not conducive to a expeditious feeding.

So I thought it would be good to tell him, in a stern voice "nee".

Well... now he thinks that "nee" is a joke, and actually starts making spitting sounds when I tell it to him, even if there's no food.

First run with Invisalign

I got my Invisalign retainers yesterday. Normally I start my run with a chewing gum -- that is no longer an option. Run was pretty slow, not unusual for a Friday. My left Achilles hurt a little Wednesday and yesterday after a very cold run, let's see today.

Crawling together

We let the guys crawl in the living room after dinner. They loved exploring.

Leo went straight for the bookshelf. Adrian isn't very fast yet but this motivated him to crawl further than usual.

Cold run

This was the coldest run I did in a long time. It was 22 degrees when I left home this morning at 6.20 am. Brrr... my fingers got cold ten minutes in, but then later got better.

First morning run in 2016

My cold is almost over. Still coughing a little but not much. Run this morning was very nice. I heard Leo at 5.50 am and was worried he was waking up but thankfully he wasn't.

First time in two weeks that I ran my regular course again, went well if a bit slow.

I did pass a couple who were probably doing their New Year resolutions. I was way faster than them, that was nice.

New Year's photo session

We took some photo's today.

This one, while not particularly sharp, is one of my favorites.

A run with Adrian

Yesterday I ran with Adrian for the first time. He enjoyed it -- he was moving his legs from excitement when we went downhill and later started singing.

We took a short route since I'm still recovering from my cold but it was a nice run together.

I was worried that Nora might have been jealous -- we haven't run together in a year or so. When I told her: "weet je nog dat wij vroeger altijd samen renden", she flashed me a big smile. Clearly, good memories for her too.
