#WhereIRun - Girls Gone Sporty Themed Blog Post

I am one of the lucky gals that is part of Team Fantastic with Girls Gone Sporty. This past week one of my team mates suggested we do a Themed Run! So here is #WhereIRun 

Let's start this off! 

The most typical course I run is the 5k one I have around the neighborhood. OF COURSE you know my best friend and favorite running partner Ace of Base is with me as usual.

Perfect weather for our run today! This is hill #1, to the right is the house were two of Ace's girlfriends are (yes he has more). One is older than him her name is Shadow; She is his original love. There is a new, younger one named Izzy who fell in love with him and showers him with kisses. They are both pit mixes and they ADORE him as much as he adores them... but what can I say, my little man is a chick magnet.

This is one of the very few downhills that exists.. I love the fact its all tree lined.

I really detest hill #2, this is only the middle of it. It is gradual but unforgiving.

Okay, so I know hate is a strong word but hill #3 and I have a love/hate relationship, I just love it when I'm done.

This is my 1 mile mark, I can either go straight here and add another .5 to my mileage or go right and start to loop back home, today I looped back home to the right.

This is my favorite straight away. It's a straight shot and it's under a canopy of shade. Can you say love! Ace enjoys this too because we usually try to pick up the pace here.

 

How pretty is this!!

Here is the 2 mile mark. You can't see much in the back of the photo because it is our FAVORITE DOWN HILL!!!!! YAYY!!! This is the only time I can beat Ace. We like to race to the stop sign and see who crosses first.

Ace's favorite pooping spot...Sorry I had to share it. There have been two separate occasions where I have taken him out to use the bathroom BEFORE we go on our run and he still poops at this exact spot.

Why what is this...another hill perhaps!? This hill leads us toward our least favorite part of our run. Truthfully I think Ace and I would rather run the big hill over and over again rather than run this piece of the 5k course...

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the Seventh Circle of Hell. Just about every house on this street has a dog and an owner that just leaves them outside.

Yup...I got you two...One day. One day I will stop and knock on their owners doors and ask that someone pay attention to them. I know they are only in attack mode because they are lonely but I cannot stand to hear Ace whine and cry when there isn't anything I can do to stop them from barking at him. They aren't always outside but unfortunately these are the two that were outside today. Maybe I'll just throw them a treat next time so we can run through without being verbally abused.

This is the sweet spot of the 5k or 10k, no matter which run I do this downhill is always at the end. I love it.

Run finished! I hope you enjoyed coming along with me and Ace!! I'm so glad I was able to share it with you all!!

These are my two favorite views after my run. A tired puppy and the view from my porch... you can insert a sigh here. :)
