SUNDAY 5/16

Good evening all,

Today I had a dog over. The owner is getting a divorce and is trying to find another home for his dog: a black labrador. I am looking for a dog, not a puppy, but between 1-2yo.

It was such a lovely dog. A real sweetie, obeyed every command. Until.... I took him out for a walk. Jeez, that dog was hard to control when other dogs were near. My son and I both had to work hard to keep him with us. I don't think he wanted to attack the other dogs, more like in a playful manner. Anyways, while trying to control him I rather hurt my knee again as I sort of twisted my leg. I iced it so hopefully tomorrow it's ok again.

So no real workout for me today. Except the hour long walk with the dog, and the unbelievable shoulder and arms workout from trying to control him. I am really feeling a little sore in that area.

As my kids have to walk the dog twice a day (and me the other 2/3 times) the dog went home with the owner just now. Really feel a little bad about it.

That dog sounds like my dog! Our dog is a very good listener,loves people and other animals BUT he is a terrible walker/runner.I have taken him for both and he pulls me.No matter how fast I am going, he has to go faster. He also gets very excited when he sees other animals,then he zig zags while he is running.I come back from my run in a very sour moon instead of returning happy and worked out.(great work for the biceps though )We have coem to realize that he needs to run at his own pace, so instead of tying him on,we will take him to an open field where he can chase after his ball.
My workout isn't going very well either.I run with a friend and we were planning to go out around 1-1:30.She tells he DH this b/c they have kids.He leaves the house around 1 and he still isn't home! She is so mad. Its been 2 hours and I have been sitting around the house with my sneakers on. Last time she called she was going out to look for him! That was an hour ago.Either she can't find him or she has killed him! While I was waiting I managed to do abs and PS Triceps.I would have done a lower body workout if I knew this was gonna happen.I am actually starting to get pissed off!
Anyway,I hopefully I will be going for a 14 kms run very soon and I am doing a lower body workout tonight.

He-he. I don't have this problem. My dog, Lucy is a miniature poodle and she's never got the memo that she was a dog. She is 100% sure that she is a princess and certainly acts like one. She is the best princess one can ever have!
This morningI did another P90X session, this time Legs and Back. Oh boy!
Many exercises using your own body weight as opposed to "real weights". New, interesting lunges and squats and different moves. Speed squats -- oh my!
The back part was only pull ups, probably 4 different kind. I used my Total Gym, and it was perfect. I don't think I could've done real pull ups, especially not THAT many. I'll do some more cardio tonight while watching another P90X, getting ready for tomorrow.

I have to say I really love dogs. I have 2 now, but they are quite old. I did used to run off and on with some of our other dogs until the neighborhood got so over run with them, I hated breaking up fights...and mine were always on a leash! Dutchie, I bet your knee will get better...just a minor tweak. I did SJP abs and a hard 13 mile trail run. Mari....I'm getting closer to order P90X.......I have not done pull-ups in a long time.......Carole
