mh, go for it again, then, and enjoy! LOL

Tori, lots of whips around the stable, eh? Mike had better watch it or else we'll be knocking those pimp canes/sticks out of his hand!

Darlene, I hope you enjoy both the strawberries AND the magazine.

Mike, wow, 10 miles is really IMPRESSIVE, to say the least! Yeah, it would be better to buy those new running shoes now to give yourself plenty of time to break them in before the half marathon. If I went out to the woods and ran into a wild animal, I don't think I'd be concerned about it peeing on my shoe, but rather eating me for a snack! Thanks for your encouragement on my very green reports this week.

Kay! Wow, congrats on that treadmill walk today and on all the miles you did earlier this week, too!

Thanks for the laugh Mike. If you only knew . . .

Try Asics. They. Are. Wonderful. I refuse to run in anything but.

Yup. Did a good 2 miles (his vet recommended max) yesterday & will finish him off with a nice half mile today. He's stiff from playing, but the exercise should help him sleep. :/

Good. I probably should be taking Chloe' for long walks. The vet told me that she seems to have a little arthritis. Yesterday when I took her for a walk she started limping. After a few miles, she started walking normal.

April, what do you recommend that I give to Chloe' for her joints?

Kay, Oh no, there goes the neighborhood.

mhibdon

Yeah. I had Steg x-rayed & he has severe hip dysplacia on both sides.

suggestions on dinner, smart ass.


So, my cousin/(non)workout buddy SWEARS she's gonna walk with me tomorrow. She said something about going to the park and hitting the walking trail. But I'll have to see it to believe it. She's bailed on me for 2 weeks now, so I'm not holding my breath. Either way, with a high of like 60* tomorrow, and no chance of rain I have to make myself get outside earlier than 8pm. I don't really have any household stuff to do, other than start packing what little I don't already have in storage. And then cook dinner for Momma and Daddy. But otherwise, it's a free day. Not sure how many miles I'll get in, but I will get SOME in, and that's all that really counts. I don't care what Mike says

Also, I got my butt back out on the trail today and ran/brisk walked 5 miles. Felt good!
