you get out of it what you put into it

Runs like this make you a stronger runner.  That is what I'm going to tell myself anyways.

Rain.  Dark.  Cold.  Headwind. 

I miss sunshine.

Truth be told, I enjoyed it in an "I'm miserable" way.

I ran on a very busy road and feel certain that I flashed 98% of Huntsville's residents.  The wind was whipping and my skirt kept flying up.  Thank goodness they have shorts underneath!

Couldn't sleep.  After staring at the ceiling for quite some time, I decided to go for a run at about 6:45AM.  Perfect out; chilly and a nice breeze with a slight drizzle.  I shed my jacket quickly.

First run with my new baby.  I'm a mama now :)

Sadie is a perfect 3ish year old German Sheppard.  I think she'll make a splendid running partner.  Today went quite well.  She didn't stop to smell 8 million things and really ran right next to me the whole time.  I was quite pleased.  Hopefully I didn't kill her on day 1!  We took it easy, running about a 10:30 pace.  She now has a pretty pink collar and leash that I know that she loves.

Burt, no comments about her big ears.  I think they are beautiful!
