A good weekend for a nap

Hey guys! Not much to report around here, really. I've been keeping up my mileage and have more miles already this week than I have in quite a while, and I feel good about that. New job is going really well. I do have one quirky story to share though: I was on my out yesterday and this seriously obese lady was waiting on the elevator to go down. I walked past her and took the two flights down to the bottom of the parking garage. When I saw her I thought "Man, I wish she would just take the stairs, she really is SO overweight and must be seriously unhealthy." But of course I didn't say anything because that would be rude, right??? So, we get to the bottom floor at the same time and are walking out the door together and she turns to me and says: "You know, I was just staring at your bag upstairs." And I was thinking, yeah, my purse and my briefy-bag are super cute (I got mine at Marshalls and only paid a fraction of that). She continues on and says "You must not have seen the thing on the news last night about how bad it is to carry such a heavy looking bag on your shoulder." WHAT??? First of all, it is really empty, I pretty much only have a few papers in it these days since I don't have a work lappy anymore, and seriously - I should be telling her about unhealthy!! So, I cleverly responded "Oh, it's really not so heavy, and I'm sure these heels I wear every day are far worse for me." HER clever response: "Oh, you should only wear flats. Anything else is just so bad for you." Hmmmm......so is being (at least) 100 pounds overweight. But I guess it's all relative.

The 50K we had planned to do is this upcoming weekend. After Pippin got hurt we decided not to do it, for a lot of reasons. We didn't get to train as much as we had planned for a lot of reasons, including the extra time and vet appointments we've had the past few weeks to take care of him. They also weren't able to give him his vaccinations since he was on anti-inflamms, so I wouldn't have been able to board him anyway, plus we just didn't want to leave him when he needed us the most. We were referred to the vet surgeon earlier this week and they've actually scheduled his surgery for this Friday! We're glad they're able to take care of him so soon, and it also freaks me out that he'll be having surgery. They estimate his recovery at 6-8 weeks. The first couple of weeks he's supposed to have lots of rest, so we're planning to not have any visitors and just take really good care of him. We'll drop him off Friday morning and then be able to pick him up on Saturday. This weekend is supposed to be one massive rainstorm from Friday - Sunday, so it'll be a good weekend to cuddle on the couch anyway!!! I'm dying to take him for a walk, so hopefully Friday's surgery will put us even closer to it. Send Pips lots of good wishes!!!! And chocolate. Not for him, for us. =)

Have a great night everyone!
