I did go for a nice run last night with Angela and the dog. What always gets me laughing is as soon as the dog gets a glance of me grabbing my running shoes she knows what is about to happen. She starts running in circles around the couch. Those times when I am actually putting on my shoes and she can’t come with me breaks my heart.
There are a couple bad things about taking the dog on the run … First, if she needs to go the bathroom I get stuck running with a ‘doggie bag’!!! Thank goodness last night was trash night so I had plenty of places to dispose of the ‘doggie bag’ she went through 2 bags. Monday night was a different story I had to detour off my normal route twice to the neighborhood park that had trash cans. I can only imagine how stupid i look running down the side walks of Market Ave with this 'doggie bag'. Unfortunately, it doesn't take a genius to figure out what is in the bag!!!
Second, the dog tends to pace me a little faster then what I would prefer. Which in all reality is good she pushes me, but if I lose an arm with her going after a squirrel that could be considered a bad thing.
Running 3 miles three days in a row … My body really feels it. Today is a much needed rest day. I am not sore in the mornings after my runs so I think this is a sign to push it a little further. The training calendar does state starting this Saturday the mileage should be bumped up to 4 miles. I think we will see if I am ready this weekend……
