Happy Valentine's Day!

This was such a busy weekend. Eddie, Noah and I went all the way to Alabama to go get my new running buddy. It was a 10 hour drive one way. Eddie drove until midnight and decided to get a room. We woke up super early to continue our journey at 6:00 a.m. Noah got car sick and threw up. But once we got there it was so worth it to finally meet our girl pup. We didn't know whether to call her Ginger or Dash, but it came clear when we saw her. She was full of energy and a good little runner. She just looked like a dash! Since she's going to be my running buddy that named was perfect for her! 

Momma says goodbye. Daddy in background.

On the way back we stopped in Louisiana to stay the night with Eddie's cousin Debbie. I was surprised that Dash slept between Eddie and I and slept all night. She's such a good pup! She is like our baby girl we never had! We are so attached to her already. I'm so in love with her too! On the way home, her and Noah slept most of the way home. When we would gas up, she would take care of her business. She's so smart cause she whines when she need to potty. 

We got home Saturday and introduced her to our Jack Russel, Rascal. That was funny and got a feeling she is going to be more energetic than him. She just wanted to play with him.  I can't wait to run with her!

Best Valentine gift ever❤️❤️‼️

Needless to say, I didn't run my last 20 miler Saturday. I taught cycle class today and ran what my body could handle after class which was 17 miles. I ran it nice and easy at 8:38 pace working on hills. 

My left knee started feeling a little sore so I may back down to 4 days of running instead of 5 to see if it goes away. Cowtown Marathon is 2 weeks away!
