Oh the joys of living near the Red River.
So much for this bridge …
Thanks a lot, Wahpeton, for sending us all your rain.

At about 8 p.m. April 30, Ace and I completed our 101 miles. We reached exactly 101 miles and then quit. We did not even go .01 miles more!
My miles were broken down close to this:
Walking: 50 miles
Running: 30 miles
Biking: 21 miles
I have to admit, at about 6 p.m. April 30, Ace and I had 6 more miles to go. It was dark, cold, extremely windy and raining a bit. The weather made it miserable to go outside. If the wea ...
Ace and I have three more days to go, and we are at 87.22 miles. So far I’ve biked about 12 of those miles, and I plan to bike some more with Ace in the next couple of days. He gets a better workout and I get a break. If you are interested in biking with your dog, I recommend a bike leash for dogs.
After a 10-mile run with my dog on Thursday followed by some birthday celebrating, I had some pretty weak days as ...
I don’t run without a leash in my hands, a dog at my side. Many runners do not own dogs. Other runners have dogs and they don’t bring them along on runs. Either their dogs are “too small” (although I’m sure they could still keep up) or their dogs are too crazy and pull too much (hmmm, wouldn’t that be a reason to run more?). Others say it’s too hot or too cold for a dog.
I chose a dog based on its runni ...
I looked at what I was wearing a few nights ago and realized everything was either from a thrift store or Plato’s Closet (an over-priced thrift store). Everything, except for my running shoes.
Today I made a trip to Dick Beardsley Running Company in Fargo where I buy New Balance running shoes every six months or so. I often catch the older model of my shoe on sale. Today the store was out of my size in the 1061 ...
What if I brought homeless dogs to random places throughout the day?
A dog in a coffee shop. A dog at an outdoor restaurant. A dog in the entryway to Target. A dog at a playground.
When people see a dog in an unsuspecting place, they pay attention to it. And you ...
Yesterday was the first bike ride of the season for my mutt and I (finally). We picked right up as though we hadn’t missed a day. I went slowly of course, barely above our running pace so Ace didn’t have to break into a run. When we got to a park I let him off leash and allowed him to sprint after me if he wanted. He took on my challenge and raced across the field remaining at my side no matter how fast I ...
Let’s just say we had some more scenery on our walks last weekend than we’ve had in about a year. We went on several short walks on various trails and along the shore of Lake Superior. The mutt decided it was worth it to go for a short swim even though the air temperature was about 40 degrees, and there was still ice in the water.
April miles: 41.61 ...
Ace and I ran a mile yesterday, and then walked another 1.07 miles once we got to Lutsen, Minn., which is about 90 miles north of ...
There are some people out there who have never experienced a tired dog – not just a bored and lazy dog but a mentally and physically worn out dog. I know plenty of dogs that have been conditioned to lay around the house all day, because they have nothing better to do. My mutt will do the same thing. But on days we go for a 6-mile run, my mutt is a different dog.
Ace and I walked 2.25 miles yesterday and ran 5.9 ...
