I’m SO in shape…

Well, this morning I decided to try something new with my running–take the dog with me.  Brilliant move I thought.  A boost to my ego I thought.  I mean, I’ve been training now for a couple of months.  I’m in shape.  And to be nice I decided to go easy on her–run for 30 minutes one way, turn around and head back.  Anything longer than that and I figured there’d be some dragging going on.

Well, there was some dragging going on alright.

Hey, when I imagined dragging…it was NOT like this.

“Hey Human, come on, get a move on! We’ve got cool places to go, places to see, places to sniff. You’re holding me up! Let’s go, go, GO!”

“Oh you’re here!  About time you caught up.  Guess I’ll wake up from my nap now.”

I had 4 give you an idea of my expression on that thought. 

He thought this was a riot…and insisted I take more.  And since I had made LOTS of faces at my dog while running…thought it appropriate.

Okay, now can I just say one thing?  This was just soooo not fair! I mapped out our route since then and it measures in at 5.44miles - 8.75KM.  A bit under my original goal of 14KM before I decided to take Kia with which I altered due to trying to be nice to her and my desire not to have to carry her back and goodness knows I was asking a lot of her for a first day.  I mean, I certainly couldn’t run a mile my first day much less almost 6.  But as you read above…she had absolutely no issues with the distance.  :-)  We could have gone the full 14KM. 

I think when I come back to earth reincarnated I’m going to insist on being a dog.
