Running Around a Ring: Dog Shows & Running

Hey guys its been awhile since I've posted, that's my bad! But I have something really interesting I wanted to share with you all!

This past weekend I was in Louisville, KY participating in an American Kennel Club (AKC) dog show! I might add that it was a fantastic weekend for me!!! But I wanted to let you guys know that I got two days worth of running in by participating in this dog show!

You might be wondering what the heck I am talking about!? Well I show Dalmatians. And Dalmatians move fairly fast, especially mine. So when I'm showing I have to run/jog around the ring to showcase their movement.

At the end of the day this ends up being a great little workout for me! I'm almost always sweating and I usually feel it in my legs, especially by the end of the weekend.

Now its your turn!! 
What kind of hobbies or activities do you do where you are able to get in a little run/workout?

Here's some pictures of me showing this past weekend and a couple of the times when I had to run/jog around the ring.

Relax!

Today provided another nice day outside!

Took a little relaxing jog outside. I felt it a little in my legs today, but it felt good :)

Did you relax today?

Great Day for a Run Don't You Think!?

Hope you all are enjoying the weather today!

It was such a beautiful day outside that I decided to take a little jog out in this glorious sunshine! Nothing too strenuous just took it all in stride. It felt great!

It's days like these when I would think runners are happiest :)

What's been your best run??

Like the Idea, Hate the Verb: Do You?

Back from spring break in Florida! I miss it already! But it's back to reality for me!

So I've come to realize after about 3 days of running, that I really don't like running at all. I think I like the idea of running more than I like the actual action of running. It's proving to take more effort and a more disciplined mindset to form a running habit.

I can easily see that my hinders or road blocks are the fact that my mind is not disciplined enough to be motivated to form a running habit as well as the fact that I HATE running! As I have grown up it is hard to remember how I really felt about running when I was a kid, but I'm starting to remember they I really never liked running but I did however like the idea of being a runner.

So why do I hate running? I'm not completely sure to be quite honest. Running is a great way to work your entire body in order to be healthier in general. I still can't bring myself to like running. Does anyone else out there hate running too, but likes the idea of running or wishes they could be a runner?

"Run Away From it All. Run Right"

I found this picture on pinterest and thought it was very interesting. I believe it is an advertisement for Nike. But I like how it appeals to one of the main reasons why people run everyday; a stress reliever. A way to rid your mind of the worries and cares of the world. 

What do you think about this picture?
