A Sudden Case of Exercise

The tall one signed up for a half marathon next spring and he's asked me to coach him through his training. We've gone out for runs a couple time at the local park and I think he's running way too fast. Last spring we did the St. Patrick's Day 5 mile run and I was happy with that time, but I've had way too many treats since then. Also, all I do is lay around all day because the tall and short one leave me locked in the house. We'll be training a lot in the coming months and the owner is looking into getting an HRM that actually works, but this one has GPS too.

What the heck?!

I don't know what the heck is going on around here, but there are so many things that are just NOT COOL.

First of all, I've had to sit at home all day today, being completely tormented and forced to use some serious self-control because the two crock pots were going in the kitchen with roasts in them. (That's right..."roasts"...not just one...but TWO.) I had hoped that the second one was all for me, but the short one came home from work and took one of them with her. When she got back she was empty handed, so I'm not sure what she did with it. I hope she didn't sneak off and eat it all by herself! (That's what I would have done.) I think I'll whine and look longingly at them while they eat dinner tonight...

I have also heard them talking about going away for the weekend and sending me to that kennel place again. Apparently, I'm trying a new place this time...but I haven't yet decided if I'm going to be agreeable or if I'm going to have a bad attitude about it like I did last time. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

On another note, I'm hoping for a camping trip pretty soon. The weather seems to be changing, which is always a good sign for busting out the tent! I've never gone with the short one before, so it should be interesting. I'll probably try to play the role of the "victim" with her around, so I get lots of pity and attention. (It's a role that I pride myself on for mastering. What can I say...it gets me treats.)
