Shoe Snatcher

It’s Friday and I’ve been in a much better mood since yesterday’s successfully sweaty workout :D

Lately, I’ve done a lot of unloading and y’all have done a lot of reading.  I’ve shared my frustrations and y’all have provided me reassurance.  And I’ve done a lot of thanking, but I need to do it yet again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all of your sincere and supportive comments!  I don’t know how I can truly express how much it means to me. 

Tonight I’m keeping it low-key with Ryan and this rug rat…

Don’t let his charming [good] looks fool you.  Every day that Ryan and I have come the past 2 weeks, the shoes we keep by the door are spewed across our apartment – they’re not chewed, just randomly scattered.  What the heck dog?

We think he’s retaliating because we don’t bring him along in every.single.car ride.  Have I mentioned that going for rides in the car is his second favorite thing to do?  His favorite thing is chasing the laser pointer – back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.  I can only hope that all of my future children are as easily entertained!

I’ve got 11-13 miles on the calendar for this weekend but debating when to do it…  Ultimately it’ll depend on how I’m feeling and the weather.

Question:  Are you planning to pawty this weekend?

Question:  Long runs in bad weather – tough it out, wait it out, or take it to the treadmill?

Whatcha Think?

  1. I’m doing a 13 miler this weekend too :) I’d say a night on the couch with Ryan and Charlie are just what the doctor ordered. It’s too cold to go anywhere!

  2. oh my gosh I am glad i am not the only one obsessed with that texts from dog. I laugh laugh and laugh as I read it. By myself. In my apartment. Without a dog. Alone. Gosh my life is amazing

  3. Can I just say that I love your hair? Seriously. If my hair looked half as cute, I’d be SUPER happy. sigh. Can’t be jealous of someone I love, can only be happy for them. ;)
    And what a goof ball. That’s why dogs are awesome. Koda has taken quite a liking to licking all the sweat salt off my face while I’m stretching after a run. I’ll be on my back and she’ll sneak up and totally pounce on my face. I inevitably end up playing with her rather than stretching … not a bad thing!! ;)
    I’m a fan of running in the elements as long as it isn’t dangerous. But I’ve been told that I’m crazy …

  4. Your pups are presh :)

    I think if I had the choice, I’d go for the treadmill. I know that bad weather would be distracting to me, and I’d be too tempted to quit my workout early. If I was inside, then that wouldn’t be an option for an excuse. But then again, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, so maybe bad weather would do me some good!

    • Thanks! I’m actually opposite. I’d probably quit a long run on the treadmill sooner than I’d quit a long run outside – I get so bored… Unless there’s some trashy TV on to distract me!

  5. Ha Ha, Roxy will do the same thing w/ a laser. It honestly entertains it for the longest time. Cracks us up.

    Enjoy your evening in w/ your two loves <3

    • They’re so silly! It’s also always fun tricking him with imaginary things – like pretending to have something in our hand – he gets so excited :P

  6. Good luck with the long run! And happy weekend to you! :)

  7. If it’s crummy weather, take it to the dreadmill! I got my 12 done on the treadmill Thursday.. I go during the busy hour to watch all the coo-coo people on the floor and keep myself entertained. Loving the shot of Charlie, he’s such a celebrity! xoxo Enjoy your weekend love<3

  8. I usually tough it out unless it’s icy or thundering/lightening/downpouring. I don’t have the treadmill option haha. If I know I have time during a period it should be better, I’ll wait, but usually I go anyway just to get it done. Good luck, girl! Enjoy your weekend :)

    • That’s a valid point! We have a gym membership so treadmills are always an option… I wonder what I’d do if we didn’t – wonder if I’d be less of a pansy and just run in the bad weather?!

  9. omg, that’s hilarious about the shoes. My dog TOTALLY does stuff like that!

  10. HAHA I love the dog text! I don’t mind the treadmill, so if it’s bad weather, I’ll definitely take it inside.

  11. Haha that’s so funny about the shoes!

    I’m a wimp when it comes to bad weather – if it’s not dry and above 15 degrees celsius, I run inside. :P

  12. No pawty for me this weekend!! Unless you count going to eat as a pawty, I sure do!! As you know from my IG reply to this Q..RUN outside for sureeeee, treadmill only on strong wussy days!

  13. I have to say that I would wait on the run.. I cannot run on the treadmill (maybe it is because I have a poor attitude about it)! Happy weekend! I hope it’s relaxing, girl :)

    • I don’t mind doing shorter runs on the treadmill, but the thought of running an hour+ of running is a bit much… Unless there’s some trashy TV on ;)
