Took awhile, spoken word, day care

Well it took until the third week of September but I finally have some standing water on the property.  There have been a couple nights of torrential rain this week that was finally enough to fully saturate the ground.  The culverts at the front of the property are full and the low spots in the yard are swampy.   We are too late in wet season however to be concerned.  I am expecting most of the temporary ponds to be gone by the end of the weekend.

This week the dogs started in dog day care, something Ali set up.  Ali thought it would be a good way to help with the anxiety issues as well as give the girls a lot more activity.  So far they both seem to be enjoying themselves.  I was particularly concerned about Nicki adjusting but so far she seems to like it.  Ali said when she picks them up they seem happy and almost immediately lay down and fall asleep.

Last night was the running club members meeting and Ali’s presentation on nutrition and endurance training.  She was very nervous prior to getting on the mic but she did a really good job once she started, something that was echoed by everyone in the room.

I had 4 or 5 beers and picked at the catered Moe’s food all night, pulling out of there by 9:15.

This weekend I don’t have  a race to time which is nice.  I have a number of things hanging out there to get done.  I also plan to reboot my running program by going to the club run Saturday.  With the Tough Mudder roughly two and a half months away I need to get my running legs back under me.
