Wen<p>Evening run before we are back up in Edinburgh for a long day, oh joy</p><p>8.5k, all road, dry and quiet. But coming back along the Teviot, dumbo de dug decided that he would bring a souvenir. I frequently pause here and throw a stick a few times to wind him down, but this? At least he brought it back another k and it is on the 'to be chopped' for the stove pile....</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Running</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BorderCollie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BorderCollie</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/DogsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DogsOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Sticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sticks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/BigSticks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BigSticks</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ScottishBorders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ScottishBorders</span></a></p>
