BLUE

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

It is with many tears and fond memories that I tell you that our Blue passed away last night.

My running partner Blue passed away last night after 2 week of distress.
She was a great companion for our family for 14 years.
I am so thankful to God for giving us her!
It might seem silly to some but she was apart of our family and we love her deeply.

Go with God Blue, we will miss your unconditional love and dedication.
Thanks you for always being there and wanting to run with me. You are a huge reason I ran most days!

This is Blue on one of our runs. It was freezing rain out side that day. I had an hour run. She was covered in ice. She never complained once how cold it was.

She looked at me several times during that run with eyes saying "I love this mom!" She loved the snow.
IT is so fitting that my husband and son buried her in it last night along with her blanked she came home in as a puppy and her baby dog in the snow covered ground.

Blessed Dog, blessed family!
TIA

I had a race on Saturday prior to this week. I need to be cut back from my original plan so my body recovered. I cut out Ab Ribber and a run and a cycle.

I have to cut of swimming. I had it planned in my routine but my daughter has joined basketball (3 nights a week for 2 hours each time) and the days we swim are the days she doesn't practice. She needs mom and dad time well.... we need some time with her =-) SO I cut it out.
