Running and Driving - October 27, 2019

Today was a good day. I got to go for a run in the morning. I was a little nervous at first but met some new friends who let me lick them a lot. That made me feel a little better. Then once we started running I got distracted. It felt really good to stretch my legs. I had to spend some time in the kennel but I was tired and slept most of the time. I got a long walk in the evening also. It was really nice outside and I enjoyed it.

Jenn's take on the day: It was slow run. I haven't ran in a while and didn't want to overdue it and hurt myself. I did give Dash the anxiety medication before we left to run errands. David introduced me to Joyful Honda. Joyful Honda is a large shopping center, kind of like Home Depot and Walmart all in one place. I suspect I will be spending a lot of time there. They have a food court and we ordered lunch from Pepper Lunch. Lunch was served on a sizzling cast iron skillet. Once the beef is cooked you add sauce and stir everything together. The rice at the bottom turns into crunchy carmelized goodness. Once I had a happy tummy we went to Costco and the Commissary. At that point I felt I couldn't put it off any longer. I had to get up the nerve to drive off base eventually and thought it would be better with David present for moral support (and to watch for bikes) than to do it by myself for the first time. I was nauseous the entire time but made it home without hitting anything.
