We always knew we’d get another dog, and with my son home for the summer, we figured now is as good a time as ever. That said, when we went to the animal shelter yesterday I wasn’t expecting to come home with a new dog!
A friend who volunteers at the animal shelter has been on the lookout for a dog who might be a good fit for us, and she thought Scooby might fit the bill.
Welcome to the May Ultimate Coffee Date Link Up! I thought last month’s Ultimate Coffee Date marked the beginning of spring, but Mother Nature had other ideas. Hopefully winter is over for real now. No matter the weather where you are, we are so glad you took time out of your busy weekend to join us!
I felt strong on my second Conte’s hill ride of the season, but that doesn’t mean it was easy. Those hills are hard and require mental fortitude as well as physical strength. I find myself drawing on various mantras to keep me going, but as my mind wanders sometimes a mantra turns into a prayer!
How can we already be wrapping up April? More specifically, how can April be over already when we’ve hardly had any spring weather? Don’t get me wrong, we had a few nice days, but we also had a number of dreary, rainy, windy and down right cold days. I’d really like some spring before it’s summer–but they’re already calling for temperatures in the 80s this week.
My April Garmin stats don’t tell the whole story. Those 72 running miles include two 10 mile races, and those 107 miles on my bike included two Conte’s Hill Rides. It’s been a busy month!
With three of my four spring races behind me, it’s the perfect time to assess and runfess so I can make progress in the month ahead, don’t you think?
