I was all ready to run today and just before I headed out the door Wiley looked at me, noticed I was in my running gear, and started going cracker dog. So I told him if he sat I’d take him, so he did…about 100 times over and over, springing up and doing his air-hula in between each 3 nanosecond sit. How could I NOT take him!

Roy asked how long I’d be and I said it would be about 40 minutes to get to Starbucks if I took the 4 mile route. He said he needed more time to get all the stuff to his classroom and unloaded, so I said “Okay, I’ll do six.” I love having the capacity to just decide to add to my runs.

Yesterday poured…today was absolutely beautiful! We headed out up a hill into the fog. I warmed up pretty fast to let Wiley wear my jacket around his neck (he’s such a good, patient boy). On our way we met Karen running the loop in the opposite direction. We stopped and chatted and Wiley got some love. Then we kept on running. Ended up beating Roy to Starbucks (could have put in at least another mile). Kevin came out just as we got there, so Wiley got some more loves. He was happy to see “Dad” though when Roy pulled up, and promptly fell asleep in the van. I think six miles is about his limit right now.
