Canine Couch to 5K

Canine Couch to 5K

Fit and Strong, Running

What's this about canine Couch to 5K? One of the reasons I got Penny, my crazy little Irish doodle, is that she's an athletic dog. My plan has always been to teach her to run with me. I decided the easiest way to accomplish that was to use the Couch to 5K app that I've used in the past. I don't know if there's actually a canine Couch to 5K app. I'm just using the one that I've used in the past. I waited until Penny was a year old to start to run with her. I gather it's important that her bones are fully grown or something like that before she runs for any distance. Since we're doing the run/walk plan with the Couch to...

Although I enjoyed breakfast in the middle of the ride, it pushed the second half of the ride later in the day and we didn't finish up until almost 1 in...

I love salmon patties. They're quick and easy and taste great. I was trying to figure out how to get more sardines into my diet. I had a number of cans of sardines in my pantry so it made sense to use them but also sardines are supposed to be good for you. Sure, salmon is too but I find it harder to work sardines into my eating patterns. I've written about this before so I guess it's an ongoing challenge for me. This time I wanted something warm for dinner, not a sardine salad so I came up with the idea of salmon and sardine patties. Because we're doing the 2021 Veggie Challenge, I wanted to be sure to add some vegetables to this. Normally...
