Just took CJ for a longer run (literally) with the trike. No pics–I need to get someone to take pics of us as we go past sometime. We’re getting pretty good at this, and I wanted to see how far I felt OK about running her–she is a middle-aged dog now. Also wanted to see how it felt about running her out the highway (which does have a bike lane, sorta and mostly).
So we went out to the little produce/miscellaneous goodies store out on the edge of town, maybe three-fourths of a mile from the house, so a bit over a mile and a half altogether since I take the longer but less steep way up the hill to the house. With stops to rest her and give her water, it felt OK, but it did wear her down by the time we got out there, and again by the time we got home–she was preferring a trot to a run. I could take her further, but if I do I’ll need to go slower.
Having gone out there, I felt the urge to buy something, so came home with red pepper pickled asparagus spears, and blackberry cider. Both endorsed by the girl who sold them to me. We’ll see–I think I’ll go sample them now.
