Ralph Waldo Emerson got it right … January 29, 2006
Posted by Amber D. Evans in : Reflections, Blacksburg VA , add a commentGot this from the motivation section of my FitnessJournal.org site:
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Overall
Ack, what was I thinking of … oh, right, I was thinking of the dog. So, I've already run 8 miles, what's 5 more? Calen needed to go for a run, so I took him out for a really easy jog/walk session. I'm pooped! He's just riled up now. I need some sort of doggie-day care once in a while … let him run it all out with some other dogs like once a week or something and that way I get some “me” time. I guess I should be glad he doesn't have soccer practice or something, though. I do enjoy our time together, I just wish I didn't have to break up my runs to incorporate him into them. I just don't dare take him on anything longer than 8 miles. He isn't training for a half-marathon, after all and doggie-dragging isn't my idea of weight-training.
