My wife wanted to go running with me this morning. She's lost over 60 lbs since her surgery. She was very nervous to run around the block. It's a little over half a mile. (0.57 to be exact.) So when I got home from work this morning we put on our running clothes and went out. She made it the whole way without stopping. I'm very proud of her. After we went around the block, I went out on my own. I did my usual 3 mile loop. When I was running up along the canal I saw from a distance what I assumed was a duck in the water. As I got closer I realized it was a black dog. I whistled for it. It paddled to me, but when I got to the edge, it got scared and swam away. I kept calling for it, and it would continue to come back and swim away. I was getting scared that it was going to get tired and drown. There were some steps on my side, but they were way far away. I was hoping it would follow me, but it wouldn't. So I positioned myself on the opposite side of the canal where there were some steps. I called for the dog. It swam to me then turned around right at the steps. Whew! It climbed out. I couldn't see a dog collar on it so I ran all the way up to the street and started back down the other side of the canal to make sure it was ok. As I approached, it took off and ran away. Oh well. At least I got it out of the canal, right? Temp - 98° **************************************UPDATE************************************** I got to meet a very cool, albeit inactive, blogger today. Guess who it was....? 
KP!

| | Last night was crazy busy at work. I was literally running everywhere. But I won't count those as miles. Not the way I want to end a shift. Oh well, it's over. I really wanted to run this morning, so I did. I slogged through my 3 mile loop. In the last half mile a pitbull, by the name of Precious, came running up to me. I almost freaked out, but then I remembered I'm a dog whisperer. |

These 20 miles were my backpacking miles over the course of the 4 days that I spent at Havasupai. It really is a beautiful place. Aqua green water. Breathtaking falls. Lots of people with Ragnar shirts. The only part I didn't like was when I almost drowned and the painful blisters on the balls of my feet. Oh how they hurt. I don't think I'll be running anytime soon. Maybe I'll post pictures later.
