8 Minute Mile

No, no, it wasn't me running the 8 minute mile. I prefer a 10-ish minute pace, however I had a bit of an unexpected workout with resistance training this afternoon while I took Ridley for a run. Who would have thought that the lazy old dog who lays on the love seat all day and can barely be bothered by anything but food would be such a fast runner? I spent the first 2 miles pulling back on the leash to try to get him to slow down. Those 4 legs can move fast! When he wasn't running at warp speed, he was playing a game of "name that scent," so it was hard to get a good pace going today, but we met our 3 mile goal for the day. Ridley gave me a little break for about a half mile before he decided to ramp it up again. I'm going to have to get in better shape if I want to keep up with my "lazy," old dog!

At least he was tired in the end. He spent about an hour in this position, conveniently located next to the water bowl.
