Sometimes you just have a few minutes that make you smile....

Today was one of those days for me. Getting up at 5:30 am to go to spin class is a shock to the system, and my body was certainly acting as though it was in shock this morning. But I got my power intervals done, and even managed 35 minutes walking on the treadmill to stretch out my legs. Ok, so I was also trying to make up for my missed workout last Friday/Monday - I guess that's technically 2 missed workouts! Anyway, once I got home I downloaded my workout data into Training Peaks and took Roxy for her morning walk. That was when I had those special minutes. Walking Roxy is, admittedly, sometimes a chore. I love her to pieces but there are definitely days I just don't have the enthusiasm she has for the walk and have to remind myself that I got to spend the day out and about and she's been locked up all day. Today was not one of those days. Lately our weather has been spectacular and this morning was no exception - crisp, cool and sunny. Roxy had a spring in her step and it was infectious. Her mood became my mood and I chatted to her all the way around the neighborhood as we strolled along in synch with each other. So today I'm grateful for another wonderful memory of time spent with my girl. Let's see if we can muster up another great morning after my swim and run tomorrow. Off to bed...
