I would love to say that my life has been centered around my family and running but lately it has revolved around this family instead:
All the puppies are doing great and Sugar is such a good mommy. She refuses to leave them for more than a minute. Sometimes she comes out to eat but most of the time I have to put her bowl in the family bed or feed her by hand. She runs outside to use the bathroom and then sprints back to the puppies. The pups get weighed daily to make sure that they are gaining weight. We have a log that we keep track of their weight in and I call it the "Dog Log." The puppy that gains the least amount of weight gets watched really closely and we make sure that he/she is getting a spot to eat. So far, the smallest and first born puppy has gained the most weight.
Did you receive the email from Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series about the $20 discount that they will be offering off any race (Las Vegas and some others excluded) in honor of National Running Day on June 6th? I have been shying away from signing up for any races but with this kind of discount I just might give in. I am considering the Pasadena Half Marathon since I had to sit it out this year and/or the Los Angeles Halloween Half Marathon. I am not brave enough to sign up for a marathon quite yet but this will be a good start for me.
Speaking of National Running Day, I will definitely get a run in to celebrate the day. Last weeks mileage was a little less than I would have hoped for (22.06 to be exact) but the birth of the puppies kind of became my priority and I missed a key run on Saturday! I would like to get back to running at least 25 miles a week so fingers crossed that I hit my target this week.
So tell me, are you planning to take advantage of the discount from Rock 'n' Roll? What races are you considering? How are you planning on celebrating National Running Day?
Puppies are cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any Rock N Roll races around my area, so I doubt I'll take advantage of the discount.
Glad you mentioned National Running Day, I wouldn't have known about it otherwise.
I just read your previous post about meeting Caroline. Cool experience, I read her blog too. Always wonderful to meet other bloggers.
Yes Caroline is a super sweet person. I am glad I had the chance to meet her. You better get a run in for National Running Day :)
DeleteOh yeah, nice header.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Caroline is responsible for it!
DeleteThey are so cute!! I'm celebrating the day with my running group at the track. Thanks for the heads up on the RNR race!
ReplyDeleteHave fun with the running group tomorrow. I wish there was a group in my area!
DeleteThe pups are quite cute! I'm going to try to squeeze in a quick run in the morning before I drive for a few hours to my parent's house.
ReplyDeleteI am already getting attached to the puppies! They are so cute and growing by the day.
DeleteI'll be celebrating National Running Day with a double day of running ;) Have a great day and thanks for the heads up about the RnR races. I'm going to pester my family to join me in a few so now they have no excuse not to register.
ReplyDeleteRunning with your family sounds like a lot of fun. I am trying to get mine to run with me but they haven't given in yet!
