I started running after Zoie was born in 2005. My first running buddy was Zoie. Each morning I would strap her into my jogging stroller and we would explore the neighborhood. Zoie was with me for my first 5k.
I reached new heights when I connected with my next running buddy, Brittany Filetti. Brittany is a fabulous athlete who really pushed me to keep running long after I wanted to stop. In doing this, she was the victim of a few rocks to the back of the head and maybe a few chosen, unpleasant names (Sorry, Brit).
Brittany is currently pregnant with her 3rd child and is taken a brief hiatus with the running. Zoie gets bored in her jogger and will no longer accompany me on my runs. I have been forced to find a new running buddy.
He is young and handsome and in amazing shape. I love him and he would do anything for me. All this, and Lance isn't even jealous!
Bluto is awesome. Having a big dog run with me allows me to run at night-- without being scared. He stays right at my side and doesn't even get distracted with other people or dogs.
I have my first race of the "running season" in just a few weeks. With Bluto's help, I'll be ready!

Running with the big dogs! That's nice.
What a fun post. I wish I had a dog! Do you still run 5ks? I keep telling myself I'm going to start running but it hasn't happened yet...
I started to run here - but there's so many blasted hills! Oh, for the level streets of Brandon!
Your hair has grown amazingly fast in the last two weeks. What is the magic formula?
