This morning, the kids have been geared up for faculty quite early, so i found a documentary on Netflix to observe even as we waited to go to school. It changed into known as "bored stiff", and i should have sworn I watched it earlier than, but as soon as I commenced it, I realized I must had been taking into consideration something else. It turned into a actually precise documentary! it's approximately the meals industry and how the changes in ingredients are making individuals fatter--using sugar, especially. i am satisfied my youngsters observed it genuinely thrilling. watching it made me want to cut back on sugar (no longer take away it totally, however at the least to be more aware of how an awful lot i am eating).
After the children went to highschool, I got equipped to go out for a run. Joey continually offers me "the look" while he is aware of i'm going for a run:
I used to take him with me, but he nonetheless does not do properly on a leash (he zig-zags in front of me), and it became honestly stressful to my harm when he would pull on the leash throughout a run. I decided to take him with me today, because that appearance he gives me is an excessive amount of to face up to every so often ;)
He changed into SO excited when he saw me choose up his no-pull harness. We drove to the kingdom Park to run the 5K loop there. First, I permit him get all of his sniffing and peeing in, before we commenced the run. As quickly as we started out the loop, he began his zig-zagging, and i notion, "Oh, no, why did I think this would be an amazing concept?!" but I was hoping that he could get in a rhythm after a couple of minutes.
thankfully, once he found out that we had been walking and not doing a begin-and-stop stroll like regular, he did much better. the primary mile was tough (physically) for me, due to the fact i used to be working on controlling Joey, however after that, it were given less difficult. He became so excited to there!

| Mile 2; we stopped for a picture. What were we looking at? I have no idea! |
Taking Joey with me changed into fun these days; I don't plan to run with him all of the time, due to the fact it's miles a large mental and physical mission, however now and again is ok.
Sunday is the 0.33 annual Monroe 1/2 Marathon (my native land race). I ran it in 2013 and 2014, however this yr i'm not going to be doing it (for worry of injury). alternatively, i am going to volunteer! Jessica requested me if I desired to volunteer along with her, so we're going to be direction marshals at mile 3.five. The race changed the direction this year, and it would not undergo the country Park anymore. i'm not crazy about the new route, so I do not feel too bad about not strolling it.
I do not think I recognize absolutely everyone it really is running the race, however i am excited to volunteer. The temp is truely presupposed to drop this weekend (excessive of 50 on Sunday), so as to be correct for racing. i am satisfied that it'll experience like fall climate!
