I have been sick no less than 3 times in 2007 so I’m feelin’ your frustration about having to cut short or skip a workout. It’s beat isn’t it? Your mind is ready and willing but your body ain’t having it. Sometimes I think that we just need a break and if we don’t take one then our bodies force it by getting sick. Totally sucks. I hope that you’re on the mend and feeling fine and feisty soon.

Penney is far from being ready to come to practice. She’s only at 3 x 30sec of actual running.

Also, she’d have to come to the office with me (since I come to practice straight from work). I tried that once, and she hated the floors. Yes, my dog is scared of floors. She’s fine with carpet – but wood floors, shiny floors, etc – absolutely hates ‘em. In our house (all wood), she gets around using the safe islands of floor mats.

At my office, she was so scared that she barked at anyone who came past my office door. You’ve got to go right by my office door to get to the washrooms… sigh, a failed experiment. She goes to work with Torb (carpets) and gets 2-3 walks from there, so she’s got it good.

Will Penney start coming to practice?
