Tequila, Socks, and more fishing

Last night we met up with our long lost “dog mom” for dog training.

We have known her for about 8 years, she is basically our mentor for dog shows and dog related events. We consider her more than a friend, but our wonderful dog mom who watches over us and provides us with alcohol every time we see her. Love her!

Yesterday was National Tequila Day. We celebrated with our dog mom by drinking this mix.

I drank 1 1/2 red cups full

I didn’t get a buzz, but I did get a headache this morning. Which reminds me, why I very rarely drink mixes or tequila.

It was a good time at dog training. All of our dogs are old, and retired from weight pull training. So I got to sit by the sidelines and talk to all the ladies about life. We did bring our new pup out, “Freya”, and she won over the crowd. I wish I would have taken more pics of the night, all the dogs pulled really well, and we all had such a great time chit chatting.

We had to be up at 5:30 this morning so we could head to “the spot”

It really was a beautiful morning. Carlo was hung up on talking video games with a fellow gamer.

And hubs was talking to some random fisherman who was showing pics of his recent 60lb salmon catch.

He showed me pictures on his “flip phone”. I was shocked that people even could take pictures on those little phones. Or that they still existed!

I got my “Sock Of The Month” email from pro compression. I was pretty excited when I opened it. It’s a USA sock, special edition. I WANT! As per usual it’s $20 off of $50 and free shipping. Just enter the code “SOM712” at check out. Good until 7/29 or while supplies last.

You’re welcome.

Later today hubs promised me he would go on a bike ride with Carlo and I, so no running for me today.

Do you know anyone with a flip phone?

Do you use compression socks? If yes, do you use them during or after work outs?

Cheers!

Boomer and compression socks

It was a weird Monday schedule since the store where I work at had inventory. I was scheduled to work at 6, which meant waking up at 4:30 to get to work on time.

Blarg…

It was my last day at that store, since I am being transferred to a store (same company) 10 minutes from my house. My boss threw me a somewhat surprise party. It included this cake…

We forgot to take a picture until after a few of us already had a slice. Oops! I certainly felt the love! They didn’t want to put “good bye Tiffany” in case I changed my mind and wanted to come back. I will definitely miss that bunch 🙂

After work I decided on a run. We are “dog sitting” Boomer for a week. He’s the lucky guy I took with me on the run today.

I opted for 3 miles since I had never run with Boomer, and because I wanted to push myself a little harder today.

I think I did pretty good. After all, I am supposed to run a 10k in less than 3 weeks. I have a goal, and it involves more speed work in order to achieve it.

Hubs picked up a pair of compression sock for me yesterday. It’s the under armor brand, and they are labeled as “post work out or post game socks”

He picked them up from Big 5, and they were on sale for $10 bucks.

I put them on right after my run then shower, and I definitely feel “compressed”

I feel the compression around my calves, but not so much around my feet. I really want to try some medical grade ones, they run about 60 bucks so I’ll wait for mother’s day or something.

What’s your thoughts on compression socks?

Do you have a favorite brand?

Cheers!
