Started running again

I finally am feeling well so I got to go running again. Its been a long, long while. I decided to take my dog, Ness, who is best dog in the world, but apparently out of shape. She is seven years old and I guess that's about 49 in dog years. Geez, I'm an old man in dog years. Anyhow, so I'm kinda wondering if the couch to 5K program would work for a dog? I mean, really, why not. I've always liked running with Ness and it makes her a happier dog in general. So, I think I'll give it a try.
Another thought concerning running in december in Missouri, its COLD! It was a whopping 29 degrees today. The whole cold weather clothing for running is a bit new to me as I never needed to wear pants in cruces. Sheesh, that sounds weird now. I honestly don't even have running pants, just some wal-mart special warmups that drag all over the ground.
I wore my new balance MT101s because I've given up on the brooks testers. They'd probably be good shoes for backpacking but my general disdain for running in actual shoes has overcome. The MT101s are pretty great shoes and I'm hoping that they'll be enough to get me through the winter. I think the fivefingers will be good enough till about 20-25 degrees with injinji socks. Either way I'll be good.
I guess this is just a bit of a pointless run on of thoughts.
Until next time....
