Good Morning
And what a good morning it is, too! Temps and humidity are both way down from yesterday although it was still 77 when I left the house to run at 8:00. Slept in a little today! Did the 4 mile around the block route and THE AIR HORN WORKED!! Those 2 dogs came down their driveway at 90 per barking and yapping and showing their big teeth. I let them get to about 15 feet from me and gave them a blast...and they immediately shut up, turned around and went back up their driveway looking back a me the whole way. I was thrilled! We'll see if they get use to it over time but I hope not because the next step will be pepper spray and they won't like that at all. So I did the 4 miles in some heat and had a pace of 10.29 which is ok considering the heat and the time it took to horn the dogs. Also did the exercises when I got home. Really worked up a sweat today. Nobody wanted a hug!

You are my HERO!!!!!!!!!!! What a totally fantastic idea! And a totally hilarious idea! I'm laughing so hard! I hope it had the added benefit of making their owner insane! Haha! I love it! Did you read about that online? Seriously, brilliant,
I suppose you were at 10:29 because you spent 3 minutes jumping for joy!
We are in the desert! Super fun and super hot! Delicious. I ran six miles yesterday before we left. Also super hot. I was going to do more, but I just got too heated and it killed my pace.
I have an appointment at 6:30 am Tuesday for a pilates session in Normal Heights. The lady called me back today and we set it up. I told Bart that she asked me about my fitness and I told her I am a runner, pretty strong and healthy but I have about ten pounds to lose. And she told me that she is a runner too and totally noticed a difference in her pace after starting pilates. I said to Bart, "could she have said anything more perfect to me??". And he said, "only that it makes watching Glee more enjoyable."
Yep, so true!
I'll let you know how it is.
Ps -we are crazy sunburned! By we I mean not me.........
Glad you're having fun! Don't get too sunburned. That will kill your pace, too!
Yeah, it was great to hit those dogs with that horn. It was Mike and Angie's idea. I'm not sure how many blasts it will give and, of course, I tried it out when I got it home so have done it maybe 5 times now.
Never done pilates myself but hear people bragging on it. Have fun.
Wow, was that a great idea! I'm glad you mentioned it to them. I would not have thought of it. Smart!
I'm not too sunburned. Got a good start on my cruise tan, in fact!
