Today is a sad day...my long much needed weekend is over and I put my son on a plane today! I HATE putting him on a plane! We've had an amazing month! I miss him already! Since I usually get a bit down when I have to put my only child on a plane-I decided it was a day for ME! When I came back from the airport I watched an amazing Wimbledon Men's Final (i so wish Andy Roddick had won!) watched Stage 2 of the Tour and then hit a chick flick, The Proposal-which I loved and proceeded to tear up while watching! I got back to the house around 5pm and veged on the couch with my furry babies! It was still a bit warm to do anything.
Once 8pm hit I realized if I didn't go running now, I wouldn't go running at all, so I put Velcro's University of Tennessee harness on and asked her if she wanted to go for a run-the excitement my girl shows when I ask her to go running is exceptional! I wish I had a human that responded the way Velcro responds!
So off we went. It had cooled down and the sun was setting. I didn't really have alot of energy but the cool air was inspiring and was waking me up- off we went. And you know what-it turned into a great run! I felt wonderful! Of course we had the obligatory stops: 6 pee breaks, 2 picture breaks, a few sniff breaks but it was still a good run! I could have gone farther but opted to feed myself some Leek and Potato soup and go to bed early!
I wish all my runs could be in cool darkness!
RUN: 3.11 with Velcro (37:27)

Yay for the UT harness;) No worries, he'll be back VERY soon.
Goodbyes really suck.:-(
Yay for the nice cool run!
It is hard to say goodbye. Good you were able to enjoy a month together.
Dogs are great . My girl has been right by my side this whole time Ive been down. Its like they know.
yep, goodbyes definitely suck, but he'll be back soon :)
Where'd he go?
Cool darkness... that sounds nice.
I'm glad you took the time for yourself though. Sounds like a good day to get the "good bye" out of your head. I thought The Proposal was pretty good too!
Won't your son be back semi-permanently very soon? Something to look forward to :)
Do doggies have off days like people? So, even if Velcro wants to run just doesn't feel right and drags?
p.s. Please share your soup recipe!!!
i hate goodbyes :( and i hate when weekends are over!!
Sounds LOVELY ... if only all our runs could be done in cool darkness! Thanks for the nice description.
Despite having to put G on a plan, it sounds like you had a great day. I took myself to see the Proposal on Friday. I am a sucker for chick flick..
He will be back though when school starts though right?
Nice job running so late in the evening, I can't do it. Past 7 i'm toast! (or a pumpkin as my hubs calls it)
I know you're sad but he'll be back! And then just think he'll be living on your side of the country for a change!
I can't wait to get a dog that will like to run or just get out there, like Velcro! Next weekend!!
