Personal:

I'm married with four children.  I run with a group called the Bingham Butt-Kickers, a really fun group of people that gets me out running early on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and sometimes Saturdays.   I recently found out that I've been running with poor form for many years, which has probably contributed to some nagging aches and pains I've had for years.  One of my big goals now is to be able to run with better form and to have running feel more effortless.  I hope this won't take too many years to achieve!

So I plan to go out today like I do almost every Sunday and take my dog for a walk on the canal road.  Because of my bad run yesterday, I plan to do just a little "shuffle" run, very slow, barely faster than walking pace, just to shake out my legs a little.  So I'm doing that and then I look behind and who do I see but Debbie running--really running--with her dog.  I hate to see her running alone, so I join up with her.  My planned "shuffle" run turns into more of a real run, but I don't care, I enjoyed it, it felt good, and all is well.  My husband said I didn't plan to sin, it just happened, so it's not as bad as if I had planned it.  That makes me feel much better.

Since it was just a shuffle run and you were really walking your dog I'm sure it will be okay. Does your dog like to walk and run as much as Duke?
