Meet my new running buddy.

Standard

This semester I am living at home for the first time since July 2012. While this seems like it is a bit of a backtrack, there are a lot of pros. Free groceries. Free laundry. And most importantly, my dog. I have a Jack Russell named Jacob Gatsby and I am 96.8% sure he has a worm in his brain. His energy is insane. I have taken him on runs before, but just around our neighborhood.

Today I took him on what started to be a 5K, but at the turnaround time, he wouldn’t turn around and wanted to just keep going, so we ended up doing 4.17 miles.

The great thing about a dog is that I can’t talk him out of extra distance. He will keep going forever if he could, and that gives me extra energy to think that this 20 lb munchkin can keep going after not running any distance for 3 months, why can’t I?

This may all be insane, but it’s quality time with my adorable furry child, and I am really okay with that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE.
