Good to be back in training mode. Still being very patient but am up to two days in a row, one off, two in a row, day off. Linda too. Her successful surgery (Thanks again Dr. Grier at GIKK) now a historical anecdote.
And we are joined on our runs by Jedediah Strong Kunasek. As Pack Leader I keep the leash for most all. He likes to start out honoring his middle name. At attention, ears up, potential energy squared. After a couple of miles the cast shadow of a lolling tongue lets me know he’s hit my stride. The three of us run easily together, unperturbed by traffic or trouble.
When I feel the urge to push it is with consideration of Jed. His role as governor keeps my throttle in check. Reminds me that I’m still early on in training. We’re up to 4 miles now and a little “speed” has been introduced. But nothing yet that these two best training partners can’t enjoy with me.
Quite the ear span on the Walker Coon Hound. Keen eyes and a legendary sense of smell too.
