Ab and I stopped at the Spicy Pickle on Lamar today…1st time there…didn’t realize it was a sandwich place, but whatever..that’s fine. We ordered a veggie sandwich and stood outside while it was prepared (it’s not a dog friendly establishment. Pft.). While we were waiting, we overheard a “conversation” (we’re using that term liberally).
Man: [...]

So…exciting developments over here. Ab and I are working with an advertising agency and formulating some creative (and fun) promotions/marketing initiatives/etc. Everything is very much in it’s infancy at the moment. While we prepare, we have been tasked with using the words “Austin Dog Running” and “Abby Loves Dogs” as much as possible [...]

My position was almost usurped recently. Ab went to Memphis for a reunion. Before she left, she told me about some “Peabody ducks” she planned on seeing while she was out there. I was cool with it. We have a pretty chill relationship and I’m fine with her seeing other animals. [...]

15-mile training run yesterday afternoon. Aside from the obvious problems including:
a) It was a hell-ish 90-something degrees outside
b) The run was 15 miles long,
we have also pinpointed another huge issue. Ab has god-awful taste in music. Here’s a small sampling of what we listened to (in order): Hayes Carll, Black Sabbath, and Miley Cyrus. Now, [...]

Life as I once knew it (as of last week) has ended. Ab signed up for the Palo Duro Canyon 50 miler. I thought we ran a lot before…now it’s completely out of control. I probably wouldn’t mind it as much if we could go for our runs in the afternoon…but now we get up [...]

Everyone knows someone that is obsessed with their dog…everyone knows someone that is obsessed with their kid…everyone knows someone that treats their dog LIKE a kid. ALL of these people are more well-adjusted than Abby. Let me explain.
Here is a little rundown of our schedule last week:
Monday: we ran 6 miles in the morning and [...]

So it goes without saying that Ab and I have met some really cool folks through Abby Loves Dogs. I could, and will, blog about each of them someday. For now though, we need to give a shout out to the Arnetts (check out their site: http://www.jennifurrr.com/about.html).
They are a super cool couple with a pair [...]

Occasionally Ab and I do a VERY early morning (5:30 am ish) run through town. It is still dark out, of course, so the runs are usually uneventful. Last Tuesday, however, presented a situation that has created somewhat of a rift between us. The details:
It’s about 5:45 am and we’re cruising down [...]
