After months of saying I was going to get back to blogging - I'm taking the plunge. Besides I cancelled my Cable TV and gave my TV away for my New Year's resolution. So I guess I'm forced to find new, creative, fun and challenging activities.
I welcomed a new addition to my family this year, a Jack/Terrier cross. Timmie is awesome. I figured I should get a running partner to keep me honest and Timmie loves to run. He is adapting to the rules set out by Cesar Millan, but since he's a terrier he forgets everyday. The other interesting thing about bringing a 'puppy' into a home with an old dog is how he has infused a little life into Billy (my 13year old spaniel/pom cross). Billy joins us on regular walks and even endeavours to chase after Timmie at times, mind you he gives us early on. Billy is also teaching Timmie patience. It is the perfect combination.
Other fun news is I decided to sign up the run the Chilly Half Marathon in March. The training is kicking my ass. I have come to realize that as much as I love the rush of a race, I think my future races will revolve around 'fun runs'. I'm too old for this competitive stuff. The long runs have taken a toll on my body. From aches & pains to an all our cold-induced form of hives but I continue to get out there - cause I'm not a quitter. YET.
Stay tuned!
