Every year around the end of August I start my daily morning runs and I mean early morning runs between 5:00 and 5:30am. This is my second straight week doing it. I can't take all the credit for waking up early though.Everybody needs a good running partner. Someone that you know will always be there. This running partner never says its to cold, to wet, to windy or to early. This is the most dependable running buddy I've ever had.
See, this morning I almost bagged the run. I woke up looked outside and it was pouring rain. Shit I ain't running today. BUT without delay my running buddy comes calling as usual. I said you're friggin kidding me right?? At that point my running buddy gave me the most disgusted look as if to say I was some kind of pansy. At this point you've probably figured out my running buddy is Roxy the Dog.
Roxy has run with me through it all, the rain, snow, cold windy days, etc.. This morning was no different for her. She loves a run in the rain. So I said alright, got my gear together and out we went for our 6 mile run. Ahhh man we got completely soaked. There's something peaceful about running in the rain. Old girl didn't mess a step. In fact, she set the pace early in the run. It wasn't your run of the mill moderate run. She had me hurting a few times. My recovery was when she stopped to take a DUMP. Amen for that.
If I haven't said it before, thanks Roxy for the motivation.
Thanks for reading.
