Stop and smell the flowers

Or at least that is Sasha's philosophy.
Smell the flowers, sniff the grass, chase the animals, pee on everything.

She has trouble sticking to just one philosophy I guess.

This morning, Sasha, Yolanda, and I went out to Ballard's and walked 3.5 miles! For you metric junkies out there, yes...that is 5K! (Actually just a little longer than that, as 5K=3.1 miles)

I'm very happy to say that I'm not passed out on the ground, I'm not gasping for oxygen, and I actually enjoyed it! I feel great! Sasha, on the other hand, is sound asleep at my feet. Thats ok though- she was just over stimulated! I'm glad we walked that far (though we didn't plan it) because now I have an idea of just how far it is. Its TOTALLY do-able! We jogged a bit, but certainly not that much. Yolanda did discover just how good of a trainer Sasha can be though-she took the leash for a while, and found out just how much Sasha pulls you right along!
Wish I could take her with me to the actual race in July!

Well I'm off to run some errands now- yes I still have enough energy to run errands! Whee!

Signing off with my first real step 'off the couch'!
