Even though I got a later start than I intended, I did actually get on my first day of the core workout of the Guardian Dog virtual challenge! Believe me, doing that was a victory in and of itself because I'd already rationalized how it was okay to not do it because it was later in the morning than I intended. (Nice rationalization, huh?) But, I went on and did it using the fact that I signed up on purpose as my accountability. Why sign up if I'm not going to comply? Duh. Today's workout was short and sweet and focused on the lower body with a handful of different pre-run lunges. Day 1: Done!

My plan was to take Elly for a walk today, but I was inspired to run with her as I was rather warmed up. We didn't go very far in part because I didn't want to take a lot of time for it today and in other part because it was already steamin' hot (not good for a pooch). We saw a couple of fun things on our route, though ... this ...

It's a statue. It's hilarious!

... and, this:

That belongs in my garden ...

We also found a dime which rolled the Food Bank counter over the $60 mark!! With almost three full months to run and find money, I'm in line to wipe out last year's $63.64 donation! Suhhh-weet!!

The exercise today was short and sweet and totally worth it. Elly, in particular, was very pleased:

Tomorrow's schedule dictates a break from running, so I'll be back at it on Friday!! I'll be checking in soon ...!
