No run today, too rainy!

I didn't run today because it was raining.  Yesterday was a great, cool afternoon so I took Maverick for a quick 30min run thru town, and we even ran into his pug friend, Boo Boo!  So he got some extra play time.  I pushed myself as far as I could up a challenging hill, and everytime I challenge myself a little more!  Tomorrow I am going running with a friend after work with her dogs, can't take Mav because it's too much out of the way, but should be nice to not have to hold onto a leash during my run!  Hope the rain hold off until the afternoon!

My first!

I started off my day with a beautiful 2 mile run with my favorite running partner, my yellow labrador, Maverick!  We are a team and can't imagine running without him!  I am fairly new to running, only about 4 months into it, but the benefits I see from it are great!  It puts me in such a good mood for my day, I feel accomplished and good about myself.  Although sometimes I find some runs are harder than others and I often have to talk myself into going, the end result is always worth it!
I have lost 65lbs in the last year and intend to keep it off with a new and improved lifestyle! I am always looking for new routes and prefer to run outdoors.  I work graveyard so I try to get my runs in when I get home in the morning, which will work really well once we get some hot summer weather!
Well, that's all for now!   Off to wake up Bryan and get some breakfast!
