Weekly Roundup 8.24-8.30

 

I didn’t run alone AT ALL this week!  What a treat!

A CCR group run, 2 Marathon Sports runs, a few runs with G and a fun long run with Wendy & Amanda.  Wendy is one of my clients at the gym and her daughter Amanda is training for her first marathon.  On Saturday she ran her longest to date—16 miles—so Wendy and I joined her for the last 9 miles.  I was lucky to have my dad biking with me on all my Chicago long runs so I know how Amanda must have felt with company as she approached unknown territory.  Looking forward to running with her again!

 Monday's run with my daddo!

OH!  Remember the week that I could no longer carry Georgie?  Well guess what!  A couple of push ups this week and some Georgie weight loss, I can pick her up again!  It wasn't pretty but I did it!  Last time I tried she was 68.5 pounds.  On Friday we went back to the vet and she weighed in at 64 pounds.  No more growing G.
