LM warmup, 7.11 miles in 55:06, 7:456/mi, HR 166, 1.5 miles w/ dog (1 mile jogging) & stretching.

40s and cloudy today.  Everything is melting.  Another get-back-into-things easy run.  An added jogging mile with the dog.

We lost Bean Wednesday night suddenly.  She was my first dog and we've had her over 13 years.  She came into our lives as a puppy at a difficult time, about 6 months before Dianna and I got married, and was a handful from day one.  Tons of personality.  Took us over a year to potty train her, not because she's dumb but because she was very very smart and used that to outwit us.  Many great memories and not one single bad one.  I'm thankful both of us were there for her at the end and she went peacefully, but we weren't ready and neither of us are coping well.  We rescue ferrets, so we've dealt with our fair share of loss, but Bean was different and we all miss her terribly.   Rest-in-peace Beanie!

Sorry to hear about the loss of Bean Dale. 13 years is a long time and I'm sure that's a hard loss after all those years. My condolences to you and your family.
