I went to a physical therapist, who helped fixed the problem, but told me I wasn't built to be a runner. I should do other forms of exercise. I found a coach will willing to work slowly with me. Since then, I have run many 5 and 10 k's, 7 half marathons, 7 triathlons, Carol Tarbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-19125691398408960462015-02-07T21:53:49.898-05:002015-02-07T21:53:49.898-05:00So happy for you!!

If Joey is doing a lot of pulling when you walk, you might try a front-clip harness such as an Easy Walk Harness.

I chose a no-kill shelter to volunteer at, so every time I go in and one of my favorite cats is gone, I know that he/she is in a loving home which is so fulfilling. Plus I love being able to give the kitties love when they are in their most vulnerable and scared states :)Dogeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15981517436133427651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-36097395186620959982015-02-05T11:44:43.742-05:002015-02-05T11:44:43.742-05:00Hahaha, I didn't even notice he was in the pic...Hahaha, I didn't even notice he was in the pic until I uploaded it :)Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-67510561181485430482015-02-05T11:44:22.267-05:002015-02-05T11:44:22.267-05:00Visiting the shelter was NOT a fun experience--it&...Visiting the shelter was NOT a fun experience--it's so sad to see all those animals in their cages! :( Any pets that we may end up with in the future will be from the shelter as well.Katie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733849582309631730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-28246500712516281022015-02-05T11:42:43.398-05:002015-02-05T11:42:43.398-05:00I've never really been a "dog person"...I've never really been a "dog person", but Joey just may change that.
