New Running Partner

Anyone want to be my new running partner??

This morning i enjoyed being able to sleep in b/c I have the day off. So after eating a pig-in-the-blanket, I bundled up and headed out with Teddy, my dog, for a run. Goal today: run a mile, walk 5 mins, run 10 mins.

I was looking forward to today's run b/c it sounded a little easier, getting a break with walking,however, i made a mistake by choosing the wrong running partner. I love my dog, but he really is a stupid runner, especially since we can't really run on the sidewalks. They are caked with ice. So here we are running on the road, and for some reason every street we would run on was super busy...cars everywhere. Even with teddy on the leash he just doesn't understand why, and how, to stay on the side of the road instead of running in the middle...right into traffic. To avoid the traffic I held him close causing him to run around my feet forcing us both to about go down.

By the end of the run i was about ready to just leave the dog in the snow banks and wish him good luck. I was also forming a letter in my head to write to who ever is in charge of keeping the sidewalks nice. Trust me it wasn't a nice letter. To sum today's run up in a few words...frusterating "PO"ness. But hopefully getting a new running partner will help solve a few problems.

Highlights left for today: Doing Yoga with Nolan :) That's right... it's part of his P90X work out...I can't wait to see him yoga it up!
