I woke up to my face looking back at me on someone else's Instagram. It was the IG page of one of my sponsors, Klean Althete. And then I popped up on another company's Instagram. It was the IG page of where I'll be doing my next speaking engagement.
I've got a lot on my plate not only with Empowered but also with my training, both rugby and boxing, with the Lil' Sistas Project, now with Baa Baa Black Sheep and yet today I found myself overly distracted with my growing wish to get a fourth dog.
A fourth dog?! As if I don't have enough on my plate.
Running is initially my strongest sport. I am a long distance runner, always have been, but now I'm a pro boxer who runs to cut weight for a fight and to host a community running team weekly run. I'd run more if I had a running partner but not in the partner sense most would assume. I don't want to run with another person, I want to run with a four-legged friend; a dog.
These days I'm lacking a sense of disconnection and I know in Korea I had this same problem but moreso because beyond work I was so unhappy. Beyond work here in the Philipipnes, I'm happy but I don't really have a social life. The other day Facebook notified me that I had joined Lady Mavericks a year ago but in that year, beyond our tournament trip to Cebu and the most recent fundraiser, I really have never hung out with my teammates outside of training. That was a rather sad realization. Anyways, I'm leaning towards getting back into my regular running. It'd help me keep closer to my fighting weight class and it'd be a disconnection from work... from everyone and everything.
I've never had baby fever but these days I've been having baby fever for a fourth dog.
I love my three dogs, of course, they're super awesome, but they're so small and I've always been a lover of the bigger dogs. I want a dog that I can go running with and walk to the store without thinking they'll pass out from the heat or die from the marathon-of-a-walk for their little legs.
