Sisko's still got it!

It has been super hot all week - I have been coming home from work and the dogs come to greet me and are excited for about 30 seconds before lying in the shade and panting. 

So any form of exercise has pretty much been out.  

I on the other hand have been slogging along in the heat that I have not been used to and my Garmin tells me my status is "STRAINED". 

But of course, the weekend hits and we experience a cool down.  

Bad for my mood but good for the dogs. 

I got ready to run and Sisko ran to the door, all excited  I have been letting him dictate whether he wants to go or not and his message today was clear. 

We headed over to the trail and since my body was telling me to run slow I would run with Sisko and let him tell me if he wanted to quit. 

There was no quit in him today.  He ran right along, happily in front with Booker and wanted to greet everyone we passed.  At 6 miles we reached the area of open water.  He ran in, laid down and drank a little and sufficiently cooled off ran rightt back to me to finish up. 

Some days I think he is really showing his age which hurts my heart as it makes me realize that he really is a senior citizen. 

Other days - like these - are precious!
