am- 4x1000's with harts warm/cool. Hit 3:49, :51, :52, :50. Felt super good and it was such lovely weather too! Felt like i controlled my breathing a lot better. Weights after.. and i keep finding random ants coming out of my key board... anyways. filled up on gas, little chit chat with the gasoline lady, felt super happy cause i got a smile out of her, drove home and there was a hot air balloon in front of mi casa so i took my dog on a walk to go see it and help him get over his fears but he's a wimp. he wouldn't even look at it! little baby. then on the way back we spotted a dog and on cue we both booked it.. just an instinct of ours cause we hate other dogs. Thrilling to get chased by another dog but made it back safely and now it's breakfast! woooo! Today is going to be GREAT! pm- 3 miles with striders before lunch time. Took my dog so i could have somewhat of a companion and it'd be great exercise for him but half way i knew i should've left him because he was so captivated by the ugly cows but i dragged him on and on until we got to the grass field where i was going to do my striders. I tied him up to a shady spot and he was dead. Did striders, resurrected my dead dog and ran home! Got some weird looks cause i kept coaching my dog to keep up, and he actually did for the last 400 m! stretched and ate. still a lovely day! |
