Early Morning

First off! I have to say that I'm sorry that this is the first time that I've gotten around to blogging this week, it has been a busy weekend and week!

My birthday has come and gone and left me with a strange sense of confidence from where it came from, I'm not sure. Although I can tell you that it doesn't stem from being able to walk into a restaurant and order a drink. This newly found confidence has made me feel that I can tackle anything, any problem and anyone that will try and get in the way of making this last year at Tech a great year (tackling, figuratively, of course). I feel that in maybe one way this newly found confidence is stemming from me taking better care of myself. I have finally starting running in the mornings again and hope to continue this with my two girls. Alex and Zappa are the perfect little running buddies and help me to not think about how much further I have in my 1.5 mile run. We all three started this morning out at 5:45 with sleepy eyes and dubious looks at each other. Feet and paws both had to be drug from bed, before the unceremonious task of buckling harnesses began, which resulted in me having to roll half asleep, furry bodies along the floor in attempt to get the harnesses on correctly (not an easy task when all subjects are half asleep). After harnesses were in place and feet were shod, furry bodies had to be drug from bed again and to the truck in which they promptly fell asleep again. Upon arrival to the Rec Center, little sleepy heads were becoming more awake with the knowledge that "things" were happening outside. As we unloaded from the truck with more enthusiasm than was given to loading into the truck we all three stretched our limbs while listening to remarks made by the ROTC squad watching us. Remarks pertaining to short legs and not being able to keep up...little did they know... even as we started our jog the onlookers became even more sure of themselves that little legs were not made for jogging, but as we past them in our second lap, remarks change to looks of amazement, followed by a series of "dang's, geez's, and wow's." It just never ceases to amaze people when they see little corgis keeping up with dogs 4 times their size or chasing livestock, it truly is an unforgettable sight and it makes me smile ever time I get to witness it.

Needless to say that both the girls and I are a little sore and tired from this morning but feeling very good about ourselves. The girls have been making up for the sleep they lost this morning but seem very happy due to the fact that they got to see new things and meet new people today.

A Very Contented,
Kasey
