Ran up to Leslie's house to take Odee for a run and ran him back down to my house.

I only walked 25 steps of the run to Les' place - pretty good since less than half a mile of the 4.65 miles is flat or downhill.  I reset my watch for the run home because I thought I would really have an impressive negative split, but my running companion had a lard butt and wouldn't run fast at all.

1st 4.65 miles (mainly uphill) -11:44/11:31/11:16/12:07 (killer uphill)/7:42 (.65 miles - on course for 11:47)

2nd 4.65 miles (mainly downhill) - 7:50 (.65 miles - on course for 11:55 including an Odee Potty Break)/10:27 (trying to get Odee under control and passed 5 dogs)/10:58 (2 dogs and one OPB)/11:49 (killer uphill and Odee refused to run it + another OPB)/12:02 (luckily Odee got to rest for 4 minutes at a stop light)

Brought Odee in the house for a few minutes.  Twilight came running down to greet me and about died of shock when this monster came in the house.

He was getting better at learning to run on my left side. He would start to drift over my way (wonder where he inherited that trait) and I would have to knee him in the shoulder to get him to move over.

Yep - tomorrow will be run! Looking forward to it. I think I'll only do 3 easy miles this afternoon.

Odee - you are welcome. Next time I tie a bib around you so you don't slobber everywhere. Twilight says woof.
