1) I've decided to enter the 5K Doggie Dash (with Bandit) that happens 10am Sunday 04Nov. I must give a shoutout to Cindy for pointing this opportunity out to me. I love the idea of this race. It's something fun that I can't take too seriously because I'll have doggy in tow. Money goes to AHA and you should know by now that I'm an animal lover. I'll be home alone most of that weekend and need something to do anyway. Also, I don't want to compete in the RR Duathlon (5K run, 25K, bike 5K run) that same day because I need to pick my son up at 3am that morning.2) I've decided to return the running skirt that I bought last week becuase the colors of this particular skirt (purplish blue and pink) are all wrong for me. Trust me on this. But I'm going to order something online that should be a better match for my color palette/taste (hopefully brown!!).
3) I'm thinking about buying a Brooks Nightlife cap to get me through the dark running hours that are facing me for the next several months - it's bright yellow with splices of reflective stuff plus a blinking light. What do y'all think?? Good investment or waste of $$ ?
4) Our half-mary photos are available. I like a few of the ones of Husband & I running side-by-side. I think I might order a few 5x7s because looking at these pics just makes me happy. If I could figure out how to show them to you, I would, but I can't, so you'll have to trust me on this too.

Okay, so there you have it. For the short term, I need to put a training schedule together for Bandit and I. I think we'll do 2 miles tomorrow...
I am dying to know what color your skirt is.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great off-season training plan...runs with the dog! Once I start to run again I'll have to work my dog back up to doing 1-2 miles.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! I like the pics of you and hubby running together too!
ReplyDeleteGood luck running with the dog, I think mine would take a pit stop every 2 seconds..
ReplyDeleteCool race pics.. You look like you had fun..
The hat with the blinky light, what every makes you visible out there. Also running with a headlamp is not to bad also..
Nice photos!! And cake is the best morning fuel!!
ReplyDeleteYAY for you and Bandit! I hope you have fun :)
ReplyDeleteYou guys look sooooo cute!!! You have great arms too, I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to check out that hat you're talking about . . .I STILL (ggrrr) need to get something. I was debating those firefly lights but I think I'd need 4 of them ROFLMAO!
Great pics, I concur with your choices!! Handsome pair.
ReplyDeleteThe hat sounds great.
I just got one from the iRunLikeAGirl people that has a pony tail hole in the back. Pretty cool, but I don't think there is reflective material on it.
That sounds like a fun doggy 5K! I don't know if Scooter could make it a full 5K. When I used to take him running, he'd often try to lay down after 1 mile.
ReplyDeleteCake for breakfast, huh? We have that at work at least twice a day! Great pics! They took so many! I'm lucky if I ever even get one. I think they pack up and leave before I get to them. And I have to laugh! Setting up a training schedule for your dog. "Come on Bandit. Today we're going to do some hills." Sounds like a blast!
ReplyDeleteI run with my golden all the time-I would love to do that race.
ReplyDeleteI have one of those hats and I love it. You can really see it.
brooks nightlife hat sounds good, actually.
ReplyDeleteI like the pics.
cake for breakfast is the brekkers of champions, you know...
A run with the doggie... sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteGood plan!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are so nice :)
Can I borrow your game face?
You look fantastic in the photos!!! I would totally buy the one of you and DH!
ReplyDeleteI've heard good things about the running skirts....saves you from wearing compression shorts under regular shorts...
ReplyDeletealso the night light thing, but not be a bad investment, you can never been too safe in the dark.
Nice photos! The Doggie Dash sounds like a good idea, but I liked the way you took a break as well. I think it is A-ok to eat cake for breakfast :)
