week 2...running with dogs.

week 2 of pre-training is just about finished! I still have to run today and tomorrow. but that's totally manageable.

I can already tell a difference in how i feel just by exercising again and esp. running. I feel more accomplished, a better release of energy, and get better sleep.

I'm a little ready to move onto week 3..getting transitioned into some little longer runs, and a little more mileage. baby steps. i have to remember that.

Last night I was able to run with my boyfriend's dog, Gus. He is my new favorite running buddy because he will not leave me in the dust :) and I can make sure he can get his energy out too. Hopefully he will be able to run some of my longer, late night runs in the fall. I think a purchase of a doggie reflector vest is in my future.

Tucker ( my dog) was VERY jealous when we had to leave him at home. Poor doggie was cursed with short legs like his mom. his is not the ideal running buddy. but don't worry, he got in his walk before.
