All About the Dogs

Dogs run like children, for the pure joy of running. Maybe that is why I am always content to run with the dogs and have never had a human running partner. Or maybe they are just better company. We put in a lot of trail miles last week trying to take advantage of the cool weather and that consumed basically all of my free time. I couldn't find the motivation or time for any long runs, but that aside, with consistent 8 to 10 mile runs almost every day I still managed more miles than I have ever run in a week. This time of year I tend to stick close to areas that have good ground water for the dogs, and that limits the places that I can run. With the cool weather I was able to get out on some of the trails on Peavine that I generally only run during the colder months of the year, and that was a nice change.

Some great single track running.

I am thinking about taking this week off from exercise (other than running the dogs) and maybe seeing a doctor to get some blood work and a basic exam done. I have not felt quite right for a few weeks now, like I have Mono or something, and I think that it is time to break down and see a doctor as things are progressively getting worse. The plus side to this is that I will have a bit of time to go fishing, even if it is just trying to hook a carp with a fly during lunch time, which I am planning on doing today.
