Outrun By An Infant (Monday Runday)

On this Monday Runday, I got outrun by a 7-week-old. Twice. (Okay, so she has twice as many legs as I do, but still.) 

She will outrun YOUR FACE. 

Our temporary houseguest, a little pup named Panda, has got some serious run in her. I'm used to Dov's steady little tireless trot, but this puppy has running in her blood. She's a border collie mix, and she just lays into it, low to the ground, ears behind her head, tiny paws barely touching the ground as she lopes ahead. If there were sheep around here, well, she'd catch up to all of 'em.

We actually went on two runs today - a brief half-mile run this morning, and then my Couch to 5k training plan run after work. Today was Week 3, Day 2. Sticking with the routine, woo hoo! The program is interval training, so today's session alternated walking and running. The walking wasn't as fun for Panda, but she couldn't get enough of the running. At one point, I was worried she might overexert herself, but she's gone on three runs in two days ... and not only does she put me to shame out on the pavement, she then still has energy to attack my feet when we get back to the house.

Happy Monday Runday!
