earthquake?
I was convinced we were about to experience an earthquake early this morning. Riley was being a total spaz from around 3:00 to 3:45 am, which is unlike him - he usually sleeps through the night very well. He kept pawing at the door but didn't want to go out and didn't want me to go back to bed. He seemed to just want us to stand there in the door ( Read more... ) -
Dogs 2 Squirrels 0
They got another one!
It seems kind of unfair to list the squirrels as zero since the vast majority of them get away, but, still, the squirrels haven't actually taken down a dog. As far as we know. -
Riley's head is hard
If the top of it collides with your lip during a game of fetch, your lip will hurt a lot the next day.
I'm just sayin'. -
free yoga!
Starting this Saturday (and going throughout the summer, I assume), there's a free yoga class at 10am Saturdays at Barton Springs. Yogayoga teachers will be teaching in May; don't know what other studios are participating.http://www.yogayoga.com/events/# -

My semi-triumphant return
I took last week off from running to rest my leg, which has been hurting since the 10K three weeks ago. In doing so I think I managed to miss the last nice week of running weather for the year (dry 50s and 60s, come back! I'm sorry I said I hated you!), and we started up again last night - with 80 degree temps and probably around 80 percent ( Read more... ) -
feeling like a mom
Riley is at the vet today for his checkup and vaccines. I always feel tense for the entire time he's there, afraid they'll find something terribly wrong with him or that he'll misbehave and I'll seem like the world's worst dog mom. It's bad enough that he needed a bath and a good brushing before he went, and I didn't get around to either. At least ( Read more... ) -
Best polo sprint ever
To begin a game (or a second half) of kayak polo, each team lines up under its goal and the ref throws the ball into the middle of the court. A member of each team sprints for it. It took me a couple of times watching this to realize that the ball is already on the water when the video starts, so you won't see the ref throw it, but watch what ( Read more... ) -
ITB
Riley and I took a short (2 miles), slow run through the neighborhood last night, my first since the 10K. The IT band is still a little twingey but definitely feels better than it did during the last couple of miles on Sunday. I'm going to keep the mileage very low for the next couple of weeks, and hopefully it'll be fine ( Read more... )
