The weekend is almost over?!

Can it be that the weekend is almost over? Seems the time just flies on the weekend - what's up with that? Well, this morning I got up early (to beat the heat!!!) to get in my hour+ run. I donned the gear and was getting ready to head out when I looked at lil' Tucker and thought...how can I leave that face at home? I said, "wanna go to the park?" - of course he immediately bolted off the couch and to the door - may have been one leap! Here he is riding in the car, very excited to get to the park!


Tucker has run with me before, but never more than about 2 miles. He did GREAT today! I think he ran all but about 15 minutes with me, so that was fabulous. He didn't weave between my legs, just stayed right out front (which was also nice to have the added "pull" ha ha). It was really hot and humid out there. The crazy boys picking up trash ended up throwing away Tucker's water dish - even though it was right up next to my car! What a bummer! Anyway, it was a good run and I hope to have more like!

After church, I headed out south to meet up with a couple gals from my team, Defined Fitness Training, for lunch. Megan, DFT's owner and my former coach, is in town for the Tour of KC bike race - in fact, she WON today's criterium in OP! Congrats Megan!!!
Only 4 of us ended up meeting for lunch, but we had a great time chatting about all kinds of things - things you just don't ever think you'd talk to others about - things you don't even know about or experience until you ride or run long distances! For whatever reason, in this circle of people, you kind of lose that "filter". It was fun - a very nice way to wrap up the weekend! (Photo coming soon.)
