Running and walking the gorgeous trails of the Wellington town belt (with a touch of housework, school drop-offs, pick-ups, and other organising in between) has quickly become my term time ‘go to’ whilst all the girls are at school.
The autumnal weather has been beautiful and mild. Having a gorgeous puppy to share my time with is the best excuse ever to be outdoors and active.
I adore running trails with him. He’s so good at running alongside me, slowing down when I’m gasping for air on a steep uphill section, and speeding up once I’ve caught my breath.
He often glances up at me, with his gorgeous puppy eyes and tongue hanging out as he runs, and I find myself smiling back, as if we are sharing a mutual thought.
With walkways stretching from sea level to Wellington’s hilly peaks there’s something for every man, woman, child and dog!
