I met my friend Addie at the Sequiota trail today, planning on doing 4 miles with her and her dog Suka- a beautiful husky. Well, it was a great time- talked the whole hour and a half, but I didn't do 4 miles... I DID 6!!!!! She's a kick-butt marathon runner, so I was nervous about slowing her down, but I think we're pretty good for each other, and I'm thinking (THINKING) about training with her for a half marathon in May. It's something I never ever thought I would do, but the more I think about it the more excited I get about the idea of accomplishing something so big and challenging! We're going to run together 2 nights a week short distances, then on the weekends run longer with our dogs.
Speaking of dogs, Gus man didn't get to go running today because Blake had to take him to the vet. Last week he got a thorn in his paw while training, and he's been limping whenever he exerts himself too much and the paw's been swelling- not good, especially for a hunting dog whose dad has BIG dreams for him. Turns out he had a cyst between his pads. They had to give him anesthesia and CUT IT OUT:(
I feel so bad for him, but he seems totally fine. He's not even limping. We have antibiotics for him, and Blake thinks he'll be ready to run with me next weekend.
Today I love: Having a friend to run with on a beautiful trail.
