sapf - enjoy your run this evening.  Only 3 miles with a group isn't really worthwhile, unless you are going to run with good friends or plan to pad it again.  Easier to just do your own thing.

 

Z - that was some serious w/u and c/d miles yesterday.  I'll do 2 miles w/u, but I don't think I've ever done more than a mile c/d.  Have fun at tonight's group run.  Same group?

 

Brilliant - I hope you have a good eight.  Good luck at the vet. What kind of dog do you have?  I hope they are able to give something to help with the breathing.

 

HM - enjoy your long weekend.

 

Scotty - last night's run sounds like fun. 

 

AFM:  short run later today, only four or five miles, which is too bad as it's supposed to be much cooler.  I am pretty loose about following plans especially when I'm early in the program.  Add a mile here or there, no big deal.  Later on I probably won't be as willing to do extra.

It was...and I loved hanging out with the ladies .

Mitch - Skin problems with dogs can be hard to figure out sometimes.  Good luck.

Z - have you tried putting Listerine on the spot where Zoe is chewing?  We learned about that when Ben had a couple of hot spots soon after we got him. Kills the bacteria and tastes bad so he stopped chewing on the spot.

Brilliant - adorable dog.

I ended up running in the rain this afternoon.  I waited just a bit too long, since the forecast this morning didn't call for rain until tonight.  I looked at Accuweather when I was ready to go out and it said it was 78 and raining.  I looked outside, no rain, though it was overcast, so I decided to take the chance.  It worked out.  The first 40 minutes I only felt scattered drops, not enough to get wet, and then the last mile and a half was just a light rain.  I got about as wet as I usually do from sweat, only it was nice and cool.  The temperature made a difference in my pace.  Average for 5.6 was 9:43, better than MP.
