Running

We had a break in weather. To most people that's not a big deal, but for us, it's enormous. We've had rain and overcast skies, chilly weather and NO SUMMER as of June 21. But this afternoon, a hint of sun came out. Yippee!

We grabbed Bella and our mountain bikes and went to the outreaches of an urban trail. No competition and a secluded, wooded path that follows a river. Bella ran nearly ten miles and reached speeds of up to 19 mph. It seems between 8.5-9 mph is her comfortable lope and she's able to sustain that over miles. My husband had to hold her back from going faster.

We got home and he gave her a bath; I gave her a good dinner (with a left over burger from last night thrown in.) She just curled up in her bed and is drying (licking) herself off. Sleep won't be far behind.
