I got dressed and leashed up Sherman - the big lug on the left in the photo below - and was off. I've run quite a bit with Sherman - I'm his designated dogsitter - and when I eventually buy a house, I plan on rescuing a canine running buddy of my own. The first week of training in the Marathoning for Mortals "run a half marathon" program is pretty basic. Sundays - one of my weekend days - will be for my endurance runs, which gradually increase in distance over the 14 weeks. I had an easy 2 miles today, though I sweat a lot! We had a ton of rain last night and it was fairly muggy out even at 8:30 am. Sherman keeps up well, but he's still sleeping it off 5 hours later. Hazel - the little brindle chihuahua on the right in the photo below - accompanied me to Einsten Bros. to get bagels after I showered when I got back.
