Fun Run

Fun Run

Faced with a cold and grey and bleak world – I decided to do what I could to brighten the place up a little bit by grabbing Socks and going on the inaugural Montclair Fun Run. It was a grueling 9/10 of a mile around a couple of blocks that ended with a spirited 1/10 of a mile “cool down” walk.

There were no t-shirts, crowds lining the route, tables with cups of water or even – honestly – a designated finish line. There weren’t any other people running – and I guess if you want to nitpick – there wasn’t really a race . . . but there was fun and there was running – and there was a pretty heated competition that Socks was engaged in to see how many times he could pee while also keeping up with the pack (I was the pack).

Good times were had by all. Now we just have to determine the frequency of the event – and get some sponsors – and stuff.

Socks socks socks at the park park park . . .

So while my dog was thinking about his trip up north land this week – he started to getting a bit antsy . . . I decided that the best medicine would be some unregistered/licensed running around at the local exclusive – our dogs and not yours dog park.

Sorry about that whole bit with the “we aren’t in the club for this park – but it is 2 miles from our house so we figure to use it anyway” – but sometimes you have to bend the rules a smidge to get by – and while normally Socks and I are straight shooters – tonight – we were mavericks – living shadow lives just outside of the law – never able to quite fit into the side of the good or the not quite so good . . .

Basically – we went to the dog park – and made a little movie – and then thought “My what an opportune time to explore a whisper of both iMovie and YouTube for the first time . . .” Oh my word – I really do think that I love this YouTube thing what what fun fun will it be – be?! And then an action packed night was had by all . . .
