Jogging

Day 122 - Sunny - May 1st - Spring Meadow park
Day 121 - 58° - Sunny - Last Day of April - Spring Meadow Park
Day 120 - 63° - Sunny - Spring Meadow Park
Day 119 - 57° - Cloudy - South Middleton Park

Yesterday I completed 4 months of walking.  Now as I begin my next 4 months, I am going to do some jogging, which is not my favorite exercise.  I could walk for hours, but add jogging and it seems to take the zip out the experience.  However, as I walk with Molly around the park, there are some very fit men and women who pass by with an easy gait.  So here it goes!!

The Red Cardinal B&B is in a perfect location for guests who like to run before breakfast. Lerew Road is a quiet back road with little traffic.  It is a scenic road and our guests enjoy the run.  If the guests run up the road and back, it is about 2 miles.  If the guests want to extend the run to another 4 or 5 miles, they can connect to the park loop at the end of Lerew.

I usually walk (now jog!) at the park because of Molly, my border collie and companion.  I can’t walk Molly along the road as she loves to herd things - cars, chickens, or people.  Whenever a car passes by, the first thing Molly does is assume the crouch position.  She does this with every car. 

Now when I take her to the park, she only does this when she spots another dog.  When she takes her crouch position, she is immovable.  It is a site to behold and very humorous.  However, it does interrupt my pace.  But since I am moving at a leisurely pace, I don’t mind.

Molly is a favorite at the park.  She is also a favorite with the guests at the Red Cardinal B&B.  We have had guests who mentioned that they specifically booked a room with us because of Molly.

So if you like to jog in the morning and you like dogs, then the Red Cardinal B&B would be a great place to stay while you are in the area.
