In an effort to feel more like real adults the Yellow Skirt and I got a dog. I assume some, if not all of you already know this, and have seen her introduction of Franklin. I thought he deserved some time on my blog as well, seeing as he is now taking up a good chunk of time in my life.

Someday he'll get it, but for now we're glad he's happy to run with us. Here's a little video I took on a cross training day out on the MTB on our favorite trail to run on:
