Welcome to a blog about my experience as a dog owner. While I intend to focus on agility, that will by no means be the only topic!

1 + 2 = 11.5

That is, one human plus two dogs equals eleven and a half miles.

I've started running again. I'm determined to get out no less than 3 times during the work-week, plus a short anti-Maxwell-zoomies run on Saturday mornings. I even have a wager with a guy at work. If I can do that for two months, he owes me a coffee. The tally so far? Four 2.5 mile runs before work, and 1.5 miles this morning.

It's been great for the dogs, too. Maxwell is much calmer after the runs, although he's ready for round 2 within minutes. It seems to carry through the day, so he's not completely bouncing off the walls when we get home from work. AND... he pulls much less when we run than when we walk. Sadie is lazy, pure and simple. She move juuuuuust fast enough to keep up with me, and is ready for a nap as soon as we come in the door.

I think I see an extra large double-shot mocha in my future...
