New Running Partner
I have a new running partner. Beautiful. Young. Long Legs. And like my coffee.... STRONG!
Yet, my BLF is not jealous, (not only because she has my heart) but because Luna is well, a picture is worth one thousand words (so why am I writing?)Three miles is nothing for this girl!
Hey, new idea for a business, a "dog escort service," runners can rent dogs to run with ... hmmm. Pair that with a "dog walking service," and I'm onto something ....
She's almost as cute as my Katie...although mine is still a (growing) puppy, so she's less interested in running than in chewing EVERYING in my house. My bet is that Allie has you so wrapped that Luna will have the last name Mathews in the near to immediate future.
"You know what I call the guy who's DFL? A finisher!" Overhead at the back of the pack at Western States in 2009. It meant a lot more to me at the end than it did at mile 3 when I heard it.
"Hey were you DFL at Western States? So was I!" Some dude named Steve that I met at Umstead. He was DFL in 2006, I was DFL in 09.
Becky talking about the need for training partners, "It takes a village to run a 100-miler." June's reply, "Yeah, a village Idiot!" Priceless June Bug, priceless!
“We are not in a hurry anymore.” Roger to his crew as he entered Camp 10 Bear for the first time in the Vermont 100, Ouch! Darn evil doctors!
"Road Marathons Suck!" Words of wisdom from Professor ACG. Listen to him, he knows of what he speaks!
"It's slippery." From the dude lying on his back at the Alafia Trail 1/2, regarding the trail condition of the muddy downhill I was about to run. Thanks, now could you roll to the side.
"There is no Try, either Do or Do Not Do." Yoda. Ok, little man, that sounds like you have a Do-Do philosophy. There is no try may work for keeping the Dark Force at bay and saving an empire, but oh-great-wrinkled-one, we're talking about running 100 Miles. Now drop and give me 20, Mr. Jed-Eye!
To me, From an aid station volunteer at Ancient Oaks 100-mile trail run, "The difference is, You could do what I'm doing, I could never do what you are doing!"
Don't Quit

She a loaner or a keeper?

Luna is on four month loan from the O'Sullivan Zoo; however, if my daughter has any say in the matter.....
Awwww...She is beautiful! Are you bringing her on Saturday?

Dr OB (or can I just call you Juan? You know, OB-Juan),
Ali has already stated that we are not giving Luna back. I'm like, Ali, then I'd have to give the dog-sitting money back.... we'll see.
And Star, no offense to those who do it, but I really don't think Luna is made for 20 miles in the heat. I'll bring her the next BBQ.
You only won't get your dog sitting money back, but you'll also be out for the cost of the dog !
That be like stealing. 'Course, everybody likes hot dogs.
