Running because I can!

It was such a nice day out today!

I worked in my yard almost all day. We are  pouring a retaining wall and cement pad in our back yard and just trying to get everything planted and looking good.

I finally go tout for a run at 8:30 tonight. I only ran 1.5 miles but it was not on a treadmill and half of it was up hill. 16.19 was my time. I started to get a side ache at the end but I turned and came home because my poor dog could not keep up and I was afraid she was going to die on me. 

i got up early and went for a run. It was so nice outside! My 7 year old woke up and asked where I was going, and she wanted to ome so I let her ride her bike. She had a hard time at the end of the ride but there was a slight up hill slope about the last half mile. We did 1.50 miles. I am not shure of the time because my garmin died after about .25 miles but I felt like we went at a pretty good pace.

I went to the gym later and I got in 3.60 miles in at 33 minutes. I have not had a chance to go to the gym muh lately so I wanted to work my abs and arms. I had about half my abs done and the day care came and got me because my baby was poopy. By the time he is all hanged and i give him back it is time to go. Not what I hoped for but better than nothing.

I ran 2 miles in 20 minutes today. I felt really good the whole time. I wanted to run at least one more and at mile 2 I ran by the house and told my husband to call the dog but she kept following me, so I stopped at the top of my street and came home.

My dog has been limping for a couple months now. She has had a hard time keeping up with me on my last two runs, so I took her to the vet right after my run Saterday. It cost me $138 to find out she has ripped her acl out and will need surgery. She is 4 yrs 9 mths and healthy $2500.00 to fix her leg or to put her down.

I spent the rest of my day doing yard work trying to think of how we were supose to make that choice. My husband is ready to pay for the surgery.
