    Hoping to get a run in tonight. I was super tired this morning and since it was already 75 at 6. I walked my dog this morning and broke into a sweat in like a minute, clearly not going for a run was wise. I don’t mind being drenched in sweat when it’s cool out but when it’s hot that’s just death. Lol. So I spent my morning trying to find a race that starts before 8a. Sadly not many options but I found a ton of fun races with pretty cool bling. If my dog wasnt so spastic I’d do a race with him so he could get a medal cuz that’s pretty awesome. I did decide to do a half marathon for my birthday so I’m pretty stocked for that. Guess it’s time to follow an actual training plan.

    i wish she was. she is fear driven. you could put a hot dog or cheese in her mouth and she will spit it out if she anxious. she goes from ok to shut down in 0 sec flat.
    the running calms her down and gives her confidence but she won't run on her own either so i can't get her to exercise on her own before. and soon as we turn to home we go from 11:20ish to 9:50ish. HOME!!! so i have at least .2mi of pulling
    i'll have to continue with the training. she is way too sneaky for a head halter which is how i originally trained my old lady to run when she was younger.
    suprisingly, the border terrier i'm fostering is the worst

    Well done @Avidkeo - smashed it!!!

    Welcome @mjone1997 - the only problem you’ll have getting to know people in this thread is in keeping up with it!!! Walk away for more than 24 hours and there’ll be three pages of catch up good stuff going on!

    My sister-in-law has a border terrier. Fabulous dogs.

    @lporter007 wrote @cburke8909- Congrats on meeting your 5K goal!! I think you are my running twin. If I remember right, didn't you recently run a half marathon PR in just under 1:40? (sorry if I have you confused with someone else) My HM PR is 1:39:56 and my 5K is 21:57. Of course, I ran that 5K in March when it was nice and cold out. My most recent evening 5K in sweltering evening heat was a full minute and a half slower, so maybe we are not running twins after all ;) Great job!!!
    You are correct, it looks like we are running mirrors of each other.
    @PastorVincent "323rd mile" ever wonder how autocorrect works. It is a great "smart"phone feature. 😉 😀
