I think I'm glad that the beginning of Spring has been cooler than usual for the most part. I can sleep in and run a little bit later in the morning because of a late night work shift. I'm glad for cloudy mornings and I've been reminding myself that it's ok to run at 8am instead of 6am. Last year, I was lazy and I didn't remind myself or accepted that it was ok to run a little later in the morning.

I had a work meeting this morning at 8am. Although I didn't want to go because I just wanted to sleep some more, I was glad that it was still cool and cloudy afterwards, so I could go for a run.

Week 15: Day 5 - 2014

• easy RUN/WALK with one dog = 1.2 miles
• easy walk with dogs = 1.4 miles

Jubee and I are doing better with the running. We took one 2-minute walk break during the run this morning and Jubee did well. I think I will try to make her run one mile continuously without stopping next time. This makes me want to do a 5K run with my dog, Jubee. I think Jubee will do fine after some training, but I don't know if I will actually sign up for one. I generally just don't like to do 5K runs/races because they are too short and boring for me. I'm still going to look for dog-friendly 5K races that allow dogs on the course anyway in case I actually do sign up...maybe...if I find one that I like. I know for sure that the L.A. Firecracker 10K race does, but I want to do that one alone.

Week 15: Day 2 - 2014

• easy WALK/RUN with one dog = 1.3 miles
• easy walk with dogs = 1.5 miles

I think summer has arrived! It was so warm today. Maybe I should have done some swimming with my dog, Jubee, today. I'd really like to work with Jubee in the pool and have her get used to being in the water and enjoy swimming. Maybe tomorrow,  because tomorrow will be warm too.

Week 14: Day 7 - 2014

* road/trail run (solo) = 3.54 miles; time = 38:24, pace @ 10:51
* easy walk with dogs = 1 mile

Although I would have preferred running at 6:30am, it was hard to wake up that early after a late night shift at work, so I had to go run at 8:30am instead. It's a good thing that the weather isn't that bad and it's tolerable enough.

Week 14: Day 5 - 2014

• easy RUN/WALK with one dog = 1.3 miles
• easy hike = 3 miles

My dog, Jubee, seems to get better with running. I was alternating between four minute running/jogging and one minute walking. She did pretty well after the first four minutes of running.

I also took both of my dogs on a hike today. We did an easy three mile hike at the Monrovia Canyon Park. Today seemed a little bit busier with more people out hiking than the last time I took my dogs on a hike. Perhaps, last time was on a different day like a Tuesday or something. I think I'm going to go on another hike with my dogs and try not to go on a Friday or weekend. Those narrow trails are hard to be on with my dogs and other people who don't pay attention to their surroundings (they act like they are the only ones on the trail).

Week 14: Day 3 - 2014

• easy WALK/RUN with one dog = 1.2 miles
• easy walk with dogs = 1 mile

I think I'm going to go on an easy 3 mile hike soon with my dogs and I think I will go on Friday if I'm not lazy.

Week 14: Day 2 - 2014

 

 

• trail run (solo) = 3.25 miles, time = 35:16; pace @ 10:51
• easy walk with dogs = 1.5 miles
• walk to/after Panera Bread = 1.5 miles one way or 3 miles roundtrip

I decided to walk to Panera Bread to meet my knitting group this evening. Too bad, no one from the group showed up. I think I'm a little sore from all the walking that I did today.
