Keeping me honest

 I have been in mostly hibernation mode.  However, the weather wasn't bone chillingly cold today, and the dogs just STARED at me this morning, begging to do something.

Research has shown that, on average, people with dogs get more exercise than people without dogs. No wonder.  If I was home alone, I probably would have warmed up our basement, and climbed on the treadmill while watching a movie.  

I almost threw it in  though.  I put on my running sneakers and headed out the door bundled up and - FRICK - my road was covered with a thick layer of snow!!  I didn't even know that it snowed last night!  I turned to go back into the house and the dogs were looking at me like "What the hell woman?"

So on went my trail running sneakers for better grip and I decided I could take it slow.  And it was SLOW.  Booker turned around several times wondering what my deal was but I didn't want to slip and fall.  I didn't plan to run more than a few miles, but once we got into the groove, I felt good and they were so happy that we kept going.  

The snow plow finally decide to clear the road for us - 1/2 mile from home!  Thanks a lot dude!

Then it was into a warm house to enjoy some post run food.

We curled up onto the couch after lunch with both dogs tired and happy.
