Well, Berry is having a hard time going for walks on leashes. She let me know how she felt when I had the opportunity to let her run free in a wildlife Refuge. She took off chasing rabbits for 30 minutes of not listening when she was told to come. She listened at first, but 30 minutes was obviously not long enough for her to run off her 3 weeks of energy built up. Dad and Mom came with with Belle. It was so embaressing to have Belle listen who is only a year old and Berry not! Shock Collar here I come! They played in the river that we walked past and loved it! Belle is still learning how to swim: she does not keep her head in the water but splashed all around to tire herself out. Berry swam for like two minutes, but was more interested in all the new smells and running! She ran so fast when I called her to come she plowed right into me and I fell straight on my face! Stupid hyper dog! We also saw the cutest baby red fox. I felt so scared for it because it was right on the road, confused if to cross or not. Finally, we scared it back into the woods. Belle and Berry on the other hand were barking, trying to get out the windows to play with the darn fox!
My sister, Jess and I spent the last two days together at her apartment: swimming, watching Bride Wars (ok movie, but don't reccomend it...I was not a fan of all the revenge that took place). She has a Coldstone right across the street so we visited that and I have new favorite: All Lovin' No Oven: birthday cake icecream with choc. chip cookie dough, choc, syrup, and whip cream on the top. The icecream flavor comes out more in this sundae than Birthday Cake remix. Swimming at dark under the stars was fabulous! The next day we had mexican food at Abuelos! Yummy! Then it was off to my 2nd favorite coffee shop.
I got back into running and have enjoyed it! I'm only running 15 minutes at a time and power walking the rest. I plan to build up to 30 minutes. It feels so good to sweat and hopefully see some muscles developing and some weight lost in some areas. Berry does an amazing job running with me on a leash. It's been too hot to run outside: today 100 degrees and humidity. Hopefully it will cool down so I can run outside. In the mean time, I'll enjoy my Pilates DVD's, weight lifting.
Thursday I leave to go on a RV trip with my grandparents to Door County! I haven't been there since I was a kid! We will meet my parents, sisters, dogs up at my granparent's house July 2nd then stay until the 5th and then come back to Belleville for a few days and then leave to AK. I think this is my first time saying, I really don't want to go back. Hmm....how much longer will I stay in Koyuk? Only God knows and trusting him to show me the path where I should walk.
