She Says: Done, Done, & Done!

Doggone Tired!

After three runs in 24 hrs, I damn near passed out panting on the floor too!

Here’s the recap: 8.2mi/81min  5.8mi/61min  3.6mi/40min

To spice up my third run I invited Soldier, the more athletic of my parents’ two Australian Shepherds (left.) I felt bad leaving Wrigley (right) home, but he was limping pretty bad last week and is finally starting to heal up. (Plus he runs a little cockeyed even when he’s not limping.)

They're twins. Really, they are!

The run was okay, a little slower than I anticipated because 1) I was tired when I started, and 2) Soldier doesn’t always do the leash-thing well, but we worked it out in the first mile or so.

After this I made a beeline for the lake, took a refreshing dive, and logged some recovery hours with my Runner’s Magazine.

And . . . . DINNER! I think these Black Bean Sweet Potato Burritos might be added to the regular dinner rotation. I like sweet potatoes and these were really good. Plus, sweet potato and beans are sooo good for you!
