One thing I didn’t really anticipate was that it would be harder to fit my workouts in once getting the pup, but it has been hard. He has some separation anxiety issues that we’re working through so I’m trying to limit my time away especially in the early morning hours when I know neighbors are sleeping. I’m hoping once the weather warms up a bit, we can go for runs together but this crazy winter weather it’s safe for either of us to be outside very long.
The good news is that I am finding ways to sneak in my workouts anyway which helps with my sanity, as well as my health. I didn’t get to run as much as I would have liked last week but hoping this week I’ll find a few more moments, even if they’re not at my ideal time. Meanwhile, please send good thoughts at I try to exhaust a puppy when we can’t spend much time outside due to the extreme cold and snow currently bombarding West Michigan…

How were your workouts last week? Are you staying accountable to your health/fitness goals for the new year? If not, how can I help?
Aw, your poor little puppy. I’m glad you’re still able to get some workouts in and hopefully your dog won’t have terrible separation anxiety for long!

I hope not! I have a trainer coming and we’ll start obedience classes which I hope will help!
I hope that you can figure out a good balance with the pup soon! Or that it warms up soon. I could certainly go for warmer weather!
Thanks, Beth! Me too. We’ve warmed up a bit which is good though now things are a wet mess out there!
Great job! My puppy had some separation issues at first, too. It’s a tough one to work, through but he’ll get there!

I’m definitely trying to remind myself this is temporary. I know he’ll get better!
