National Running day for everyone.......

I guess today is National running day. I had to make sure I was full filling my duty as a runner by strapping on my running shoes and hitting the wet roads. We have had thunder storms all last night and this morning, and I am not one to run while there is lighting in the distance. But at lunch when my hubby got home, it was only raining, no thunder, so I decided to hit the road for a speedy 5 miler. It doesn't matter if it is 6am or 6 pm, Nellie is always very upset with me if I don't take her. I really didn't want to take her in the rain today, but by the time I got home, my husband said Nellie had just about lost her mind with frustration because she too, wanted to hit the wet roads on National Running day. So this is a little video of me inviting her to go for a run, after I had already run my very wet 5. So please forgive my look, this time it's not just sweat.

Oh sweet baby! I just love it when they get so excited that they start growling/howling/barking. Hope you both had a great second lap on this day.

Ha Ha! Hilarious! I have two pitbulls and they are in the office with me as I read your blog. when I played the video they stopped what they were doing and gave a little head tilt toward the computer. They walked over and tried to find the doggie that was barking on the screen. Hilarious! Dogs are so funny.

Hahaha, I love it when they got all worked up when they see the leash! Mine does the same thing, but imagine an 80 pound German shepherd/husky mix bouncing around the house. The really funny thing is that she gets ALL excited, runs about half a mile, and then wants to come home. Silly girl needs to learn how to pace herself.

I had an interesting National Running Day observance. Had to have my car serviced. Dropped it off and ran 9 miles to the office...which meant that later in the day, I had to run 9 miles back. I forgot that there are actually hills in Omaha!
