Home alone. Well, not exactly alone

I was supposed to travel to Milwaukee with Scott today to go see the Smashing Pumpkins in concert. Scott is a super-fan and had been looking forward to this concert for months. Me? I was excited to go to the concert before Nationals happened but I have to admit the trip started to seem a little less appealing afterwards. I'm in full homebody mode right now.

As fate would have it taking a road trip wasn't really an option for me anyways. I'm at home taking home of Ben and Naomi (who happens to be sporting a cone head).

I'm not sure exactly what she hit in our backyard during one of her sprints, but she managed to cut open the tops of both of her back feet and her thigh. Greyhounds have super thin skin, so just hitting a stick wrong can give them a cut. And when they hit a stick wrong while running 40 mph it can get bad quickly. On a side note, I wonder if I can get sponsorship from a veterinarian? Because lately I feel like I need one!

Ben has been very supportive and providing his butt for Naomi to rest on at night. However, he still wants to play with her really bad. Today we were in the backyard and he actually grabbed her cone in his mouth and started trying to pull her across the yard. I think he views the cone as a giant toy. Poor Naomi.


Scott will be back tomorrow morning and I'm hoping that we can get a nice ride in. My legs are FINALLY recovering from my adventure race. Today I rode for almost 3 hours and my legs felt really good while pedaling. However, all of the muscles I used for running are still sore.

I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing this weekend yet. Right now it looks like we might be in for some rain, and if that's the case I will probably stay inside. There's also a cross race this Sunday and I'm kind of tempted to race it for fun. If I do I can promise you one thing..it will be really ugly!
