Toots and Sally Ride Again

“The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s lives. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof.”  -Richard Bach. I thought this quote was apt after my last post.

I ran yesterday before going to school, about 4.5 miles. Brought G, felt good, feeling like I’m back in my game. Ran today, before work, short one, with G, again, once again, feeling like I’m back in my game. I also rode to work today. I’m paying ultra close attention to my knee, and I start physical therapy next week, but so far, so good. Our weather has been perfect…in the morning it’s in the 60’s, so I get to bring Dawg. She’s not quite in running mode- she wears a fur coat year-round, it’s understandable-but, as I’m always posting and saying, life is better with dogs and fur involved. Her eyes are always brighter and her fur is shinier when I take her running. Gorgeous.

“The world is empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone who thinks and feels with us. Who, though distant, is close to us in spirit. this makes the earth for us an inhabited garden.” - Goethe

Thanks, Toots and Banana, for doing this with us…and now, thanks, coworker #1.
