Run...dog...pain

First of all, let me apologize for the last post being such a downer.  Both grandparents are doing ok.

Now back to your regularly scheduled bad blogging.

Completed a 3 mile "long" run on Saturday...in the rain.  I know.  I am as shocked as you that I went out in the rain to run.

I ran again this morning after not running Sunday or Monday.  Sergent Sh*tcramps decided to pay me a visit on Monday.  That bastard is mean.  Did a nice 2 miles this morning.  Nothing great, but still decent.  I am slowly feeling better.

After my run, I gathered all my stuff to feel my two dogs.  I have 2 Siberian Huskies that we recently moved into the fence together.  The dogs are polar opposites of each other.  Koda, our male, is laid back.  Doesn't bother you.  Just wants his food and some petting.  Kylie, our female, on the other hand, is spastic.  She doesn't know how to settle down.  Drives me insane.  As I am trying to get in the fence to give them food and water, Kylie is just jumping all around and over me.  I swing out my right foot (hands are full) to push her out-of-the-way.  Well, I swung a wee bit harder than I had planned and hit the top of my foot on some bone of hers.

Ouch.  Like, I feel like I broke my foot, ouch.  I am hoping that it is just a bruise.  I guess I will find out in the morning if I can still run.

LooMoo, you are correct.  Dogs are evil.

At least this time they didn't bite me.

Total miles: 19 miles

Weekend of FAIL

This past weekend was the first game for teh daughter's soccer team.  It was not an official game, just a "friendly" to help out another region.  We had to travel about 30 minutes to play.  First of all, the soccer complex is ok.  I am kinda spoiled with the awesome fields we have, so not much can compare.  The field we played on was WAY too small.  I don't think they go the memo about proper field size.  They also don't believe in calling all those pesky "rules" that everyone else follows (such as offside, tripping in the penalty area, etc).

Anyway, the poor girls were kinda lost out there.  We really have not worked allot on positions and what to do when in a certain position.  We tended to get out of position on defense and gave up 4 easy goals.  The girls played hard, but you could tell the other team had a couple more weeks of practice than us.  Also, we really miss not have teh daughter out there playing.

Running FAIL x 2:

Even though the weather was absolutely PERFECT all weekend long, I did not get in a single run.  We are talking low to mid 60's in the morning and I stayed my lazy ass on the couch.  I have got to start getting at least one run in on the weekend because Monday is always a rest day for me (it just can't get going on Monday mornings).

Today was 2.24 miles in 30 min for a 13:25 pace.  About 15 seconds slower per mile, but I know that I did the first mile too slow and kicked ass on the second.
