So ends the month

I'm not even going to bother with taking a tally of Feb workout stats because I already know it was a wasted month. And in wasted month style, it ended with a bang. It was way too windy for me to walk/jog or whatever with my dog after work, I was too tired to get up early, and I just plain don't feel like doing weight/core work right now so you know what that leads to in my training log for today...

However, tomorrow we start a new month! New beginnings are always good.

I hereby declare my intention to ensure that my March training will be on par or better than January.

Changing topics slightly, I need to thank Lia for mentioning that she has seen several folks running with dogs on a hands free system. That led to me doing a little internet 'research' and ordering something that will probably work for me. I expect it to be here next week when I get back from my business trip.

I'm actually pretty excited about the prospect of running with Bandit. We've three dogs in the past who for several reasons would never have made good running companions. But Bandit has the enthusiasm, athletic ability, and good health to be a great training partner. He's probably better than a human in this regard because he doesn't care what time of day I decide to head out - early morning, lunch, evening, whatever. Plus, he doesn't care what pace I choose. He just wants to be at my side and join in the fun.

If only I could teach him to swim and bike and maybe lift weights...
