Sometimes it takes a dog to get you going

Lately work stress has made it hard to get workouts in. Even when I have the time for something like a run, which I do day or night cold or warm. The other day I was home a little late from work, and I had a run to do. No matter how much prep I did something seemed to get in the way of getting out the door. Finally it was 8:30 PM and although all was clear to go, I just lost interest. ITS COLD! I just REALLY wanted to stay sitting on the warm cozy sofa and nap out. Then, just then,


Simba puts her head on my lap.

I shoo her off.

She starts tapping me with her paw.

"Get away"

She then resorts to the Nuclear weapon in her arsenal...The squeeky ball. She must know I hate thatthing

I take it and throw it

She brings it back "SQUUEEEEK SQUUEEEEEK ....... SQUEEEEEEEK!!"

"OK!!!! DAMNIT!!! Get your freaken leash!!!

So I go run with Simba, an hour later I feel great having gotten my workout in, Felt awesome on the run once I warmed up, and Simba is satisfied having yet again manipulated the situation in her favor.

Freaken Border collie mixes, too damned smart

However I did get the workout in, that dog is a great coach.

I think Simba posts on her blog that you make a great pet :)

I think she posts that she owns me, and that I make a lousy running partner, since she has to slow down for me.
