Help! Stuck to the sofa.

I need to do my run. I'm dressed for my run. But for some reason I can't get my bum off the sofa. I doesn't help that I've got a lap dog holding me down (large black lab) but still it's not a good reason not to go. I've never felt like this before I've always wanted to get started.

Time to go before the tea and biscuits start to call out to me. Hopefully I'll feel better once I begin.

Update:

I went out and did 7k, my longest run so far. I'm a happy bunny! :)

Well that is adorable! I don't think I could get up, looking at that!

I have two of them and they both think they are tiny lap dogs. My fault though because I like having them curled up next to me.

Aw, look at that face ! What is it about hefty dogs and laps?

I used to have an Old English Sheepdog who would regularly climb onto my lap....his party trick was climbing onto the garden table ( such an attention seeker !).

Glad you got out in the end and did a brilliant distance.Sometimes i think that I am the queen of procrastination; I find myself washing up my tea mug,having a last glance at my laptop,going to the loo ....again, catching the weather forecast on BBC Breakfast...not a great use to me as I'm not even in the UK!...... but in my head I really do want to get out and run :)

He does that too! He stands up there with a big doggie grin on his face! And the other one runs around like a shark circling, trying to get up as well.

Don't you just love a daft lab? Mine gets so excited when she sees running gear going on - she loves to come with me. Our other dog also wants to come but she's a miniature yorkie so even at my snail's pace it would be too much :)

I take both of mine when I'm running at the beach, but haven't tried them running on leads yet. I think I may end up stopping and starting for them.

Not what you're looking for?
