She's arrived!
My future running partner, a German Shorthaired Pointer named Ainsleigh, has entered our home and lives today. I slept very little last night. My heart beat was noticeably quicker than normal, either the result of recent training or the new family addition.
I would expect most of you to know who she is named after. While brainstorming names, ranging from 'Boston' to 'Killian', and even several way to girly to even be mentioned here. Heather (the brains of this family) blurted out 'Ainsleigh' and I was sold immediately. Some of you know, after a two year effort to qualify and compete in the Boston Marathon, the next goal was to earn my silver belt at Western States 100 some point over the next 3 years. for those that do not know, Gordy Ainsleigh is the founder of trail ultrarunning, who started the Western States 100.
I hope Ainsleigh is along my side late next year during my trail runs - and maybe a race or two 2015. Until then, we have lots of training and nap time planned ahead.
