It's been a while...

since I've POSTED about running. Honestly, I've been running.

Today I ran Otter Trail with my 6 month old puppy, Valena. This was the second time I took her out. She did MUCH better this time.

She wanted to take off and chase the birds, but I tightened up on her leash and yelled "heel!" she did. I could tell that it bothered her when cars were coming up behind us, because she couldn't seem to make up her mind just how close she wanted to run along side me. As soon as the car would pass she relaxed and jogged happily at my side.

It is a nice day for running. Chilly fall weather with a hint of rain misting in the air. I loved it. Tonight I report for work, but I'll be back by tomorrow morning and perhaps I'll run again.

I just finished eating my lunch. Leftover beef stew. Yum! I ate it as I read my runners magazine. Can you believe Lance Armstrong is going to run in the ING New York Marathon this Nov. 5th? Yep, he is. He actually thinks he's gonna win even though he's NEVER run more than 11 miles at one time. HA! Even I've done more than that. Not that'd win, hell no!
I actually hope he doesn't. He doesn't need to ego boost. His head is already big enough to park a 747 in it.
