I'm jealous of all this bonding. AP option is looking stronger and stronger.
I did my 18 mile run this morning. Got out around 6:40 and cursed the cold. Got the pace I wanted and am now relaxing with a dog on my lap.
On the dog topic, we are fostering a dog from the shelter where we volunteer, Kaylie. She's a cocker spaniel and was in a breeding/hoarding setting. I have no firm number on how many were taken, but ours is not the only shelter to have an influx of cockers in the last two weeks and we got 9. She was petrified. We brought her home last Friday (2/25). She seems housebroken. She had just been spayed so we had to wait until yesterday to get her groomed and clipped. She looks SO much better. She likes Stretch, our dachshund, and we had another dog over for play time last night. She's is really coming out of her shell over the last day.
You're coming for the Princess next year, right?
Way to go on the run! I sent you good vibes!!!
I so want a dog. Husband does not. She sounds so sweet!!!
New topic. I'm struggling with my phone during recent runs. I switched to an iPhone recently and am being really cautious about moisture. That means its in my SPIBelt, in its case, wrapped in a plastic bag. Luckily all I want to do now is listen to podcasts. During a race I'll want to send progress texts to my adoring fans. So... How do you carry your phone? Do you use it during a race? Any armband success stories?
Ronda
I run with it in my hand, in my belt (fuel belt pockets - I customized my fuel belt), or in a pocket. I have an armband but past 3 miles the sweat from the armband bothers me. Plus, as Kat said, it's hard to touch through that plastic.
I have a portion of my TR that I have typed up and meant to post. I'll get to it as soon as I'm back at my computer. (Rather than my phone.)
I've had a relaxing weekend. I'm starting to think my pain is my ankle and not my shin as I now have pain in my shin and ankle and at times my foot, all depending on how my foot is positioned. And I had to take off my snow boots because it was painful to have them laced up. Probably will call the doctors on Monday.
Oh, Meg, please get it checked out!
5K done for today, I was so stiff the whole run
Gotta start back up somewhere!
That's awesome!!! I have to start back up. I've been so tired that I have slept from 8pm until the morning! So not like me!
That's just it Kat. These people--hands down--drink more than anyone I know. And we have spent months talking about drinking around the world. Had a whole plan for us and had something for the kids to do too. Nope. They wanted to do Living with the Land and the Circle of Life then head back to the pool.
Insane. What is wrong with them???
Speaking of, I really want to do a proper drink around the world next year. Your livers are on notice!
Liz, E, Kat, EE, Amy, Meg, Nancy THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH
for not letting me go back to my room last Sunday. Liz you were so right,
I would have giving up on enjoying my moment.
I promise next year I will not be such and emotion mess.
You can be an emotional mess! Anytime! Just promise to listen to me and all is well.
Really, Jo, this was HUGE for you. You did so well with it. Remember, you are a survivor! Resilient!
It was a rainy day here today and they are saying 6" - 12" of snow tomorrow. When is this going to end? I want Spring and I want it now!
Got my butt kicked but good by Jesse today. He thinks he found an event that we can do together to get me focused on. I don't have all the details yet but it sounds interesting and would definitely be a challenge.
I'm sorry about work, Paula. And the snow. WTH?
Hmm, Jesse and a challenge! Sounds fun!!! Like an obstacle course thing, maybe?
Drunky Mc Drunkster checking in 
Becca just informed me that babies look like potatoes. 
Should be sewing, obviously drinking instead. Went to Hofstra with Nate today and have really great things to say about it.
Like, human babies?
Hofstra - tell us about it! I went there once for a basketball game. Is he off Drexel totally?
Woot! Another Drunky McDrunkerson here!
Why, you ask?
Because....we just extended our trip! We were supposed to fly out tomorrow (Monday). Looked at the forecast and decided that the Northeast is far too gross. Called DVC, they could let us stay without moving. Called Southwest...um...we SAVED $50 by switch our flights. No brainer! So we are hanging by the pool all day tomorrow! WOOT!
I have to remember that you are my good friend and I should not hate you.
seriously? I could throw a shoe at you right now 
It *is* disgusting here. Enjoy another day in paradise!
Shoes, for sure. Maybe fleece ones. Definitely not my pointy cute ones, though!
Glad you are getting another day! I'll try to be gracious about it...while I sit here sick as a dog in 40 degree soggy weather.
That's it. I'm sick, have been sick. Missed going out for my bday, can't run, ready to be well. You know I'm sick when I can't even find something to ramble about.
Oh, that sucks. SUCKS!!!! I am so sorry!!! How was your sick birthday?
Crazy rose just friended me on FB!
Can't wait to see her posts about the Half and afterward.
She is very smart and posted NOTHING while drunk! Nada!!!
I am working out my training plan for the May 15th half. 3 miles scheduled for today, bag in car, planning on hitting the TM after work.
Nice!!!
Drinks poolside while the cast members play games with my kids. Mid 70s and gorgeous.
Again, no comment. I wish you well and happiness!!!
I am cooking. Lentils. Made pasta salad. Not sure why, to both, but I felt like it. Maybe to have cold things to eat for lunch this week. Maybe to torture my "meat and potatoes unless it's sushi" picky family. Lord, they need vegetables! I should try sneaking them in like those cookbooks for kids do. Only I need to sneak them in for the husband.
