4 miles today. I did not feel like running at all at first. I almost gave in to going to Starbucks with the other moms...but..........I DIDN'T!
First mile I felt so slow and my legs felt heavy, I thought OK let's just do the 3 miles I have Wednesday today and do the 4 on Wednesday. LAME. But by miles 2 all was better and I did the 4 miles like I had planned.

Today my beloved Maggie, best dog in the whole wide world, is turning 9!
I waited 30 yrs to get a dog.
When I was 3 I started asking for a dog. For my birthday, for Christmas, for Valentine, for Easter, for good grades, you name it.
I got NO every time, even got from my mom "it's me or a dog" and I had to think about it for a minute. I was 7.
So anyway, I finally got my dog at the young age of 33!
She is THE BEST, well worth the wait.

First day we brought her home!      |

Awwww! Happy Birthday, Maggie! And great job on getting that run done :)
Maggie looks like a great dog!!
I'm not sure there's anything cuter than a Golden Retriever puppy. She looks like an awesome dog. Glad you got your run in.
Happy birthday, Maggie!
She's just beautiful. :) It' so sweet to see her with baby Will. How awesome that they get to grow up together.
Beautiful puppy pictures!
Starbucks is hard to pass up...way to get the run in despite the temptation!
Happy Bday Maggie, that first pic as a pup was soooo cute
What a sweet dog!
Nice job on getting out on that run. I think that often the worst part is getting out the door; that said, I also tend to do a lot of negotiating with myself and then reneging on my promises. :)
Happy Birthday Maggie Doodle Doo!!! Such sweet pictures.
Awww, what a cutie!! Growing up I used to have a Golden Retriever as well - the best family dog ever!! :)
Happy Birtihday Maggie! She is adorable. Heres to many more years of fun family time with her. We had a few GRs growing up....fantastic dogs.
