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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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...

  6. 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?

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

  8. 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.

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

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion.

If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
