Bella and I just had a great workout! We drove down to the canal again but this time we headed north! I wanted to go the other direction because I got out of bed a little later than I would have liked, and I didn't want to be staring at the blazing sun on the way back! I had set the alarm for 5:15am but didn't actually get up until 5:45 and thus to the canal until 6am. I definitely regretted this extra half hour of sleep. You wouldn't think 30 minutes would make that big of a difference but once the sun breaks the horizon, it's toasty.
Because we headed the other direction. Bella didn't get to see the cows today but she did see quite a few horses. Some of them even neighed at her as we went by.
Dad--the other thing I found this morning was the Chandler Water Treatment Plant. I never knew I lived so close to it.
The running itself was actually great! Slow, but great! The first 10 minute interval I wasn't paying very close attention to the time and I even ran 30 seconds past 10 minutes
Here's my Garmin data for anyone who is interested.
When Bella and I got back to the house, she was ready for a swim! Bella's had her best friend Abby around all weekend, so it was an extra big party. (Abby didn't go running. She stayed in bed with Rick. Abby has a wild spirit, and I didn't think I could manage both dogs on leashes as I ran), but she was awake and ready for the swim by the time Bella and I got back to the house.
Here's Bella's super long tongue as she was trying to cool herself off:
Your dogs are adorable. Mason I know misses Bella. :) We'll have to reunite them sometime.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to rush to Abby's (my dog) defense that while she really did WANT to go outside and run super early in the morning and be a super bad ass like the Martin women, she would have felt terribly guilty for leaving Rick behind, and that someone should protect him, and several other totally lame excuses Abby passed on to me. Also, she wanted to eat the cat's food while you were gone...
