Felt a bit sluggish today but it is probably because of the crap I have been eating. The girls are in Denver for a VB tournament so it has been just the boys and when it is just the boys we tend to do a lot of take out. It all tastes great but I end up paying for it on days like today when I try to increase my mileage. They come back tomorrow night so the food binge will be over by then and we can return to normal.

6 miles tonight. I did a little speed work trying to increase my overall pace. I did three 2 milers trying to keep the pace under 8.5 minutes per mile. I know that sounds slow for you speedsters but I am working my way back to better endurance and a better overall time.
As I mentioned in my post last night, we adopted a new rescue pup and we want to change his name to make a clean break from his past into his life with us. By changing the dogs name, you are helping him leave his bad memories behind and are now associating his new name with his new loving home.
The suggestion is to always use the old and the new names together. So you would say his old name in a soft monotone voice followed by his new name in a bit louder and more excited voice. After a few weeks you would continue on with just the new name which he should now recognize as his own. So far the change does not seem to confuse him, but only time will tell if this tactic will be successful with our particular pup.
I have high hopes.

5.5 miles tonight. Felt a bit better than my last run as I got a good night sleep last night (the new pup did not make a peep). We are going to change his name so this evening I started on the research for that task. More on that tomorrow.
