Today duck completed week 8! Woop no more practice runs!!! Week 9 lies ahead all shiny and new! I’m so excited! Today’s run was grand! I set a couple of new personal bests for my fastest km and mile so that made me very happy! Had an extra day of rest just to make sure we were both fresh and ready for it. It seemed to help, far fewer back issues and no 🤮 for me. Duck has adapted to his new shoes too methinks and was properly hydrated. I made friend with a new puppy today, a little white thing that kept running up to me and running along side me with his tail wagging. He was super friendly...I considered stealing him but picking him up and running with him may have inhibited my strides...I’m not sure I could have outpaced his owner either...😔 so I remain sans puppy🐶

Weird thing today...my arms sweated...since when do arms sweat? Your forearms...I’m sure they are not meant to sweat. It’s grim!!

Eeeep can’t wait for week 9!! (Did I just day that???)

I’m always contemplating stealing pets...I love all the furry creatures, but duck is allergic to most of them😢 but yes finishing the run today with 2 pbs was worth leaving the puppy behind...ok fine the are regrets, but he was super cute.

I don’t think I have any bits that don’t sweat!

Properly hydrated is good... 3 more runs and you can work on thoroughly dehydrated 😂

Great runs guys... week 9 as a team is going to be very special... enjoy the victory lap.

The only time I’ve been dehydrated is when nursing a hangover! Is run dehydration as crippling?

Thanks, so can’t wait for graduation 🎓 now!

Oh I dunno... I was talking about some graduation 🍾 🍷 🍺 dehydrating!

Hope never to hit run dehydration... that’s pretty major stuff, when you stop sweating you’re in a lot of trouble... I’ll keep sipping my water!

Funnily enough - I DO run carrying a dog every time! The 30lbs that I am overweight is exactly the same weight as my spaniel, no wonder it's hard work!
