This long week is half over! Tomorrow will be a pretty busy day. I need to work on my paper, take Bella to the vet, my son to the dentist, and my daughter to her class at the YMCA. Then, Friday, I'll be volunteering in my son's class all day. Of course, I have to take a kid to a birthday party on the other side of town on Saturday, but I'm hoping to maybe do some shopping while I'm out there and buy a new purse! That always makes me feel better. ;-)
Today, I worked 3 hours this morning then came home and attempted to jog around my neighborhood with Bella. I always do this and somehow think it'll be better each time. Sometimes, it goes okay, but today I gave up on trying to make a good time after three, yes THREE, stops for Bella to poop (btw, she always just stops abruptly, too, leaving me to jerk my shoulder out of socket on the other end of the leash) and 2 stops to tie my shoes. It is hard enough trying to jog with that dog as it is, let alone while also carrying multiple bags of dog crap. She can't run in a straight line beside me for anything! She will cut in front of me or bump into my leg. I don't know how many times I've almost face planted!
I never seem to learn though. I just feel too guilty to go out to walk or jog without taking her because I know she needs the exercise too. And if she sees me getting ready, she goes to the front door all excited to go. If nothing else, it gives the neighbors something to laugh at. :)
I did, however, jog the track at the gym yesterday as opposed to the treadmill. I didn't have an exact time, but I came in somewhere between 38-39 minutes on my 5K. Not great, but not terrible considering my fastest time on the treadmill to date is 37:41. I can only get better, right?
