Hometown blues

Sometimes you don’t realise what you are missing until it’s right in front of your nose. I don’t remember when the last time I went to see my parents was, but it was too long ago.  Even the border official gave me grief for my poor attendance at my parent’s table.

I only went home for a couple days. But they were nice days and the weather was mild. I should have gone for a run, but I didn’t want to spend time away from my parents. I didn’t run but I got some activity in:

  • Walked around the airport on my way out
  • Two brisk walks with my mom
  • Some time on my parent’s great little elliptical
  • Tried out my mom’s Christmas gifts, Zumba videos.  She sent me home with a couple so I can play with them too.
  • A playstation Move game.  My brother and I spent hours playing archery and gladiator games.  Boy is my right side sore.
  • Walked my brother’s new 100+ lb rescue dog.  He’s a real sweetie.  He was walking well for me as soon as he figured out that I knew what I was doing with his prong collar.

Back to working out and enjoying my own dog tomorrow.  But sometimes I do miss home.

Miriam the Filly Runner
I'm a 28 year old ex-Northeastern-rower who is finding a new love for physical fitness in the form of running. I love running long distances (even aiming for Ultramarathons) on both road and trail. I've toyed with barefoot but mostly go with the minimalistic shoes. I may not be very fast, but I'm enjoying competing against myself. I'm Canadian but love living in New Hampshire with my hubby, and our Poodle and cats. When not running, I'm usually being a nerdy engineering type.

Cooper the Blonde Poodle
Cooper, who's registered name is French Fries and Gravy, is a 1 year old Cream Standard Poodle (he's on the small side of his breed). He thinks that living with two runners is fantastic, as long as he gets to tag along. His longest run to date has been 22 miles off leash, so he probably did significantly more than that. Coop's non-running adventures are often documented in my other blog Life with a Blonde Poodle.
