Weekend and a 5k to Boot
Weekend and a 5k to Boot
I just signed up for the Run Forrest Run 5K! This event is sponsored by BubbaGumpShrimpCo as part of the Long Beach Marathon and they are giving away treats to the participants after the race along with a goodie bag and t-shirt.
I got talked into the 5K by my new virtual running buddies on Spark. Several of them are running their first Half Marathon and I'm going down to support them and participate in the event as well - just a 3 mile race for me. I've learned a lot from them over the past few weeks about running longer distances.
Thom asked me about it and I told him that I wasn't going to invite him to go along. He seemed a little insulted until I mentioned that I'd have to leave for the event around 5:30 in the morning. I told him we have a couple weeks to decide if he wanted to go but if he did, lunch at BubbaGumps would be on me for getting up that early on a Sunday.
I'm still training for my Half in November. So far so good. I was super sore last week but got a massage from Thom with TigerBalm. Ahhhhh, that felt good.
Oh, and for those of you following along with the puppy-saga. I finally point-blank asked him what he was going to do about Ty - the peeing rambunctious 60lb puppy that he rescued many moons ago - he said that he needs to find him a home. He's just dragging his feet because it's gonna be hard to find such a large dog a good home. At least Ty is a very happy and loving dog and with some good professional training will be a really good dog for someone with enough space for a dog his size.
He said that every girl seems to dislike the puppy though. I laughed... and said it was likely the non-stop licking that he does. That dog will lick anything. Yuck!
Besides the obvious reasons for not keeping the puppy, cost and care of two dogs is his main thing right now. He's feeling the burden of having two dogs and wanting to go on trips. Thom's older dog Ben always had willing dog sitters at the ready but now with two, the willingness is not there.
Luckily I'm going with him this weekend to an art festival and we're camping out in the park over night so I wasn't asked to dog sit. Haha!
Happy Monday... although I seemed to have picked up a cold.
ah-choo!
P.S. Thom also took me out for sushi and a movie. We saw the new Cohen Brothers flick, Burn After Reading. It's good, typical Cohen Brothers to put it simply with lots of good performances. I like when Thom has some money... he's less stressed when I'm around.
