Luxurious!

Yesterday was day 2 of the training schedule, but I realize that is somewhat false. This has been my goal all along, so I guess the OFFICIAL DAY 1 was way back in January, but still. Today is technically day 3 on the schedule, but I was a slacker and didn't post yesterday.
So.

Day 2. 214 Days to go!
Total miles logged: 4

Day 2 was another 2 mile run and it went great! I was skeptical when I got off work because the sky decided to open up into a torrential downpour, AHH! I figured, well, that's what I get for being lazy and turning my alarm off when I'm supposed to be getting up to run in the morning. I made it home walked little B. (my puppy dog), cleaned up a little, got dinner together, had an awesome phone date with a lovely friend ;) and it was STILL raining. I though okay, if it gets to be around 7:45 and it's still raining, I'm going out anyways. I'd rather run in the rain and beat the dark. and Oh my heavens, at 7:30 the rain was rained out and I jetted outside.
Running after the rain, just before dark, this had to be the coolest (temperature wise) run I've done all summer! and it just gets better. I switched back to my Nike's..oh how I love them! It's like switching from driving an old UHAUL truck to a luxury car. The rides just can't be compared :) (maybe I'll try the vibrams again eventually...but for now.) and I ran on the golf course!!! I'm not sure if that is technically allowed or not? but it sure was sweet. Nice soft cushiony grass, yummy! I am NOT a morning runner- and this time, my evening run seemed to work out perfectly. The only thing that could have made it better is the return of my favorite running buddy K.D. and my fellow Princesses E.B. and N.K.-- Run on girls!

Day 3. 213 Days to go.
Total miles logged: 4

Today is Day 3 on the schedule and a rest day. I plan to dedicate my rest days to re-training little (not so little) B. on her leash manners. We seemed to have forgotten some very important lessons this year while we were enjoying the fenced in backyard. Bye bye backyard :( Hello obedience training. B. also recently discovered just how enticing bunnies are! haha, now I have to spot bunnies and squirrels before she does or I'm in trouble...
