I got home on Friday and took Zippy out to frolic. He was so cute, he walked into the front yard and laid down on his back. Of course I had to scratch the belly and while he was laying there with his eyes closed he did a quick stretch and accidentally punched me in the eye. It hurt pretty badly and I had a big red scratch under my eye for the whole weekend.

Saturday was my 10 mile training run. Since Uncle Jay was in town I asked him if he would like to run with me. He was planning on doing a 10 mile also so it worked out great.

He totally kicked my ass. I was suffering from the heat and just couldn't get myself moving very well but he was like the energizer bunny. It was so hot and humid I sweated off all my sunscreen just walking out the door and the temperature hit 90 with 8?% humidity. I shouldn't beat myself up for that run. The weather was definitely a factor that day.

Rob decided Zippy should be on the organic dog food and that he should no longer be eating large breed puppy food so we got regular puppy food and organic food. Unfortunately it really upset his tummy and he has been pretty subdued for the past couple of days. I should have known better then to switch both foods instead of gradually adding the organic stuff to his regular dog food. Poor little guy, he is paying for our mistake. I think I'm going to reward him with a trip to the dog park tonight.
