Damn it feels good to run! It's crazy how much I miss it after just a few days! Taking a nice easy week then building into ... uhhh, well, building into something. Also, here is my Boston Marathon Race Report So you are over your illness? Glad to see ya back! Feeling better, yes. But I still feel off. I am super happy to be running again and my legs feel great but I get the sweats and feel kind of fevery now and again. I'm making a GASP doctors appointment today (haven't been in like 2 years...) Thanks for asking! The fevers and sweats sound icky but at least you're able to run again. Hope you survive the doc appt! |

Champion ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by laffinrock Originally posted by 4agoodlife Been a busy few days. Got our short-term foster pup. Took at least two hours to get him introduced properly to our beasts. I was tired out! He's flying to Alaska this afternoon. Never knew they had a demand for Chihuahuas up there. Or they're a little confused on the size of desert sled dogs. What a cutie!! Glad he's already found a home. Hope they're planning to give him some sweaters; depending on where he's going he's likely to to need 'em! Heck, he's likely going to need an entire snow-suit!! |

Heck, he's likely going to need an entire snow-suit!! Erin, think the little guy will go for this get-up? Or for the indoors, there's the Snuggie option: Hahaha! Those are great. I'm not a "dress up my dog" person, but I find them so entertaining. Maybe I'll be buying him a speedo for the summer months around here. It seems he somehow "missed" his flight. Not sure what the rescue coordinator is actually coordinating. If she wanted me to help with him for more than two days, she could've just asked. His flight supposedly left at 4:30 today, but I haven't heard anything from her since last night. hmmmm...oh well. He's a happy pup in a good place right now |

In 14 days I will be driving to Houston to try and accomplish my dream of Ironman. For you IronDistance Vets any final words of wisdom as I'm wrapping up my last week and beginning my Taper? No wisdom here. All I know is that you are trained, prepared and determined. Now stay sane (I use the term loosely around IM people...particularly IManatees) during taper. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Originally posted by rrrunner Some scenes from my trip to Moab. We spent most of the time wheeling (with a little hiking) but I was able to squeeze in some time to run and bike. Yay for fun trips! Love the pics. I just asked J last night what he thought of taking a hiking/mtb vacation when all this job stuff gets settled. We've done the tropical and the coastal, so maybe a change of scenery this time. |

Seeing them in person, Max is the size of Phil's head. |

Tears rolling down my face every single time! Erin - how the heck did the flight mishap happen?? Was the coordinator supposed to pick him up from you and just didn't?? Weird. Oh well, glad he's got some good people taking care of him until he does make his flight. |

Master ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I was smart this morning and didn't give in to my urge to hike. It's SUPER windy and my knee was sore for a week after packing Mak last time. Race Sunday? Yes. Monica- I sent coordinator a note last night asking if Max had missed his flight. She replied "No. Dogs delayed due to all dogs needing to leave at the same time." lol IDK |

Oh well, glad he's got some good people taking care of him until he does make his flight. We've actually used booties on our dogs. Totally ridiculously funny. So hard not to laugh at them (don't want to embarrass them) but it's the funniest thing ever to see them trying to walk without putting their feet down!! Kind of like when I tried to get my cat to wear a harness. She's an indoor cat only who really yearns to be outside. I was hoping to be able to take her outside on a leash. First she wouldn't move at all, then she lurched around like she was drunk. She ultimately ended up learning how to slip the harness so it's been relegated to the "failed attempts" box. Oh well. At least it was some good entertainment while it lasted. |

We've thought a LOT about getting harnesses for the kittehs to be able to take them out, it makes me sad to think that it's possible they've never, ever been outside since we have NO idea what they're previous living situation was. However, I have no doubt that it would probably be a disaster in the making and if we're crazy enough to try it, we should buy shares in Band-Aid before any attempt is made. |

I know! I even researched the nationwide rescue group she works with before getting involved. They ship dogs all over. It's not new to them. I think she's just a flake about communication...or she hopes he stays with us. sigh. Flaky people are my irritation today. Had another lady pull a no show for meeting me. Hurried out of my swim and everything. |

Hurried out of my swim and everything. To give the dog lady the benefit of the doubt, it could be that they're gathering dogs from a variety of places, including some that require travel to get to your area. There may have been some hitch in getting other dogs there, like maybe some volunteer elsewhere flaked out or something. Whenever there's something like that when scheduling relies on numerous volunteers being able to converge on one place can be a real headache with lots of potential for miscommunication and flakiness. I'm sure the foster pup's new family is just as frustrated as you are!! As for the woman who no-showed for your meeting, no excuse!! Or maybe there is one. Doesn't matter; you're certainly entitled to your annoyance! |

You all kept me quite entertained during court today with thoughts of doggies in boots (my dog hates them) and kitties in harnesses (never tried it, never will) Well I went with the SPD-SL system. I installed them last night and practiced today on the drainer. I really like the feel of it. More.... solid I guess. I think I got the hang of clipping in and out. It's just a smidge different from the SPD so hopefully I'll be spared the slow-mo tip when I go on the road. Thanks for the input! ETA: Fi looks GOOOOOOD with her new black pedals!
