Running Journal ~ Day 13

I MADE IT!!! Two minutes without stoping!! WOOHOO!!
Today was supposed to be a rest day, but since I rested on Sunday AND Monday I just transfered one of those days to today. I forgot to stretch before I went out (in too much of a hurry I guess) and my ankle started cramping again, so a little stretching on the way helped with that. Application ~ proper planning prevents poor performance; or perhaps follow the maintenance program so you don't have to make unplanned stops along the way. Keep the fluids fresh and topped off (two glasses of water before venturing out instead on one and a half) and check your operating systems regularly and you'll have a happy, hiccup-free run. Sounds like a car! =0)
I take my puppy dog out with me because he needs the exercise too. Today I thought I was going to have to come back and get him. About the 23 min mark, we'd just finished out 3rd run period and he decided he'd had enough. He just stopped in the middle of the road and looked at me...panting, with a look in his eyes of "no more PLEASE!!! I just need a minute to breathe!" Thankfully he recovered quickly when he spotted a bunny rabbt. Miraculously, he had a surge of energy and the chase was on. That bunny would have been toast had he not been on a leash. However all that energy seemed to mysteriously vanish when the last 2 minute run time came. I practically dragged him all the way home. He was very happy to see the house--NO MORE RUNNING!! YEA!!!
Well, if I'm going to get my chores done and a run in before work tomorrow, I better turn in.
Shalom people.
