    @lporter229 great job on your miles. That's impressive! I had a run with my Stella this morning too. I call her my reluctant and complain-y run buddy, the kind you always need to keep encouraging "you can do it, come on!". Today she was doing really well for the first half. We got to a busy intersection and I pressed the button, which has a voice signal that says "Wait!". She pays more attention to that voice than to me, so she immediately got in a down and I was very proud of her. I made a move to get my phone out of my pocket while we waited, and switched the leash in my hands, and she took my movement as the sign we were ready to go - so in one quick motion she leaped up and yanked the leash out of my hand and started into the intersection. I yelled STOP!! a couple of times and fortunately she did and I grabbed her leash and yanked her back to safety. OMG. We were so lucky that no cars were in that lane at the moment and we didn't get hit. My heart nearly stopped.

    The rest of the way home she was dragging, clearly done with whole thing, while I tried to recover. Obviously this was my fault for not paying attention but it's always an adventure with this one.

    I pictured Marlon Brando yelling “Stella!” Lol
    Glad no one was hurt.

    @shanaber, I didn't realize that you were retiring! I hope it's a planned retirement and not forced.

    Enjoy it! I'm hoping to retire in 9 to 12 years.

    Good Friday no school time for a long run. 10.5 on treadmill too foggy. Could see my most miles ever in a month with a long run Saturday.

    10.5 on the 'mill?!?! That should count double. Anything over 5 and I quickly lose my mind.

    Day off from work = extra run day! Managed to get 9 hilly miles in before heading to hair appointment. One of those “how much can I get done” kind of days but also making time to remember what this day means to me as a Christian.

    I’m now 12 miles short of goal so I guess I will be aiming for at least that tomorrow.

    @shanaber - congratulations on your retirement!
    @katharmonic - thank goodness Stella didn’t run into the path of a car!
    @rheddmobile - hope your calf/knee issues get worked out soon

    @7lenny7 thanks for sharing that on here. I saw that and I am totally psyched for it!

    On a side note, I had another piece of my ultra puzzle fall into place this morning from an unexpected place. less than 14 days until I toe the line... by 2 and a half hours....LOL
