i was so proud of myself last night. i ran in my first 3.5 mile race. i had to walk at 2 miles for about 30 seconds but then i finished the rest of it without stopping. before yesterday the longest that i had ever run in my life was 2 miles. i am so happy that i did it. it took me 40 minutes but that is just fine with me. yeah me!!!!

well the dog and i survived another night together. he is actually a really good dog. a little hyper at times but overall well behaved. good combination. i don't have to watch him tonight but i am watching him again tomorrow night.
