Ode to my Maggie

First the running portion of this post:
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!

 With Will when he was just a tiny peanut!


That is Will when he was 2! Mags was 4.


 HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAGGIE!!!

Now time to go work on serious stuff: MY BRACKETS!
