My Running Partner

I ran 8 miles on the Nor-Bath Trail today. Think that's good? My running partner, a girl, went at least 80 miles to my 8 and wants to go out again.

Her name is Suki. She's a Jack-a-Poo, the Captain Danger of Designer Dogs. In today's foray, she nearly nailed 6 squirrels, 4 rabbits and 2 ground hogs. She also kissed at least 1,000 people.

I'm watching her this weekend.

She's the one who got me back into walking and running again, a little over a year ago.

Dogs are cool. I prefer them to humans.

Good for you Bernie

She loves staying with me now bc she gets plenty of exercise, and I spoil her with all kinds of people food.

Today, she actually went 12 miles. Yonght, she managed to tree a cat about 1 1/2 times her size. The cat seemed to playing along and was more amused by Suki than anything else.

You know Bernie, if you dog sit often, Easton has many dog friendly places in and near downtown and College Hill. You could hang with the coolest people in the city...

I hope you don't ever consider anything sexual with that cute dog.

Go take your drug cocktail.

What's your eating drinking regimen before you run? Do you load up on pasta the day before and something lite to kick start your run on the day of?

If it chased away a cat 1.5 times it size, what would it do to a swine about 5 times its size?

I usually stop at Pizza Joe's once a week for spaghetti and meatballs. They use no dairy on the sauce or meatballs. I love it there. I notice that I usually get real hungry about two days AFTER a long run (10 or more). If I eat that much the night before the run, it is tough on my stomach. I usually try to eat light before I go long. I'd rather be a little hungry than have gas pains 6 miles into a long rub.

if you want to have a laugh go ahead and take a look at the 9000 calorie tour de france diet. it's pretty ridiculous

Hey Bernie, what do you think of the new Ron Angle scandal?

Bernie O'Hare said...

I think you're off topic. Discuss it on one of the hate blogs.

Your girlfriend is a dog!

Rarely do I agree with Bernie O'Hare, but, that dog is adorable.

There you go, Publius. We have something in common! I'll pass on your comment. She's napping right now.

Andrew Bench said...

You might want to be careful though, your home address and telephone number are listed on her tag. You never know when big brother may come looking.

Bernie O'Hare said...

Publius, Thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, there are some nasty people who wold use that info to hurt me by hurting them. I blotted it out. Thank you.

Andrew Bench said...

No problem. Always looking out for your welfare BO.
