Padden w the dog

Ran Padden with the dog and a friend today. It was great. I like running with other people. Which is odd because I tried it before with some people I had just met, but this is waay better.

One of these days, I want to do 2 laps around Padden. I think it didn't once last summer, but I need to keep doing it and running more.

2 firsts

Nighttime and a group run.

Okay, this wasn't the first nighttime run, but it was the first nighttime run with a headlamp. And first nighttime run that started truly at night--after 10p.

Also, ran with Jake and Tyler. That was great. Group runs are pretty sweet. I never thought I would like running in a group, but I love running with the dog, so I suppose running with people isn't much of a stretch. Hopefully we will be able to do this more. Glad Jake is running now.

The headlamp was fun :) Running at night though did mean that we mostly stayed on the sidewalks so no roots would jump out and scare us.

Weather: cool-ish/perfect. Clothes: capris and blue s/s. We did about 4 miles from Puget St to Fraser St to Woburn then back down the trails by the car dealerships to Lincoln St, then over to Moore St to the trail by the baseball fields back over by the Sportsplex to Puget St, then home.

Glad running and I are back on.

Nighttime

Ran at night for the first time. It was great. Mostly nice because of the company--the hubs and the doggie. We need to do that more often. Kept a nice easy pace, and could have kept going longer if it wasn't so dark out.

All around good run.

Running and biking

Ran w the doggie yesterday. It was a good run. He is finally growing to be pretty well-mannered. It wasn't the fastest run, but I did run the whole time and it felt pretty good.

We have also been going for more bike rides, but I think those have been making my back sore. My guess is that it's from my seat being too high, so I need to lower it and not lean forward so far. I hope that's the problem.

Stairs and Jake!!

Jakey started running, and I am super excited. Granted, I wasn't sure how I would like running with someone, be they a person or a dog, but it turned out great. Sometimes the dog isn't the best running buddy, but it may be that I don't feel like I am good running buddy for the dog....

We didn't have much time before we had to work on dinner, so we decided to just hit the stadium and do a few laps and some stairs. I did the stairs 5 times and we ran about a mile and a quarter around the track. It was really nice to run with him, so I am excited for future "family" runs. :)
