Lately all Oshie does when we go outside is look for the lizards that hang out around the deck. He begs to go outside and then just stands around and looks for them. He tries to chase them but he just isn’t fast enough. Sometimes the lizards even use Oshie to escape. They jump down off the railings onto him and scurry down his body and sprint off and under the deck. He needs to stick to playing fetch.
Here is a short video of Oshie playing dead to get a treat. You have to love that delayed/dramatic reaction. He is a such a goof and true to his breed, he will do almost anything for some food or a treat.
I can’t remember if I mentioned this or not but I have been training to run my first half marathon in September. I am not sure what made me wan to run because normally I hate running if some kind of sport is not involved. Anyway, two weeks ago I convinced my wife, brother his roommate to do join me in an 8k beach race. I was more than ready for it and so was my wife and Scott (brothers roommate) but my brother not so much. It kicked is ass but in true Marine form he pushed himself through it and finished.
This is what happens when you don’t run Ethan!
We competed as a team and none of us were really concerned about time ( I was a little because I am always competitive). We did all finish together sort of ha-ha. I finished first with Scott a minute or two behind. I then circled back to run in with my brother and wife. Nancy hung back with Ethan to make sure he would be alright and partly because it was hot and humid and she just didn’t want to run fast. In the end we all crossed the finish line together and had a excellent time.
Best part was taking a dip in the ocean to cool off afterwards.
So one race down and more to follow. Unless we find one soon, my next race will be the Marine Corps Half Marathon which is what started me on this running kick. At the moment I don’t plan to run a full marathon but I also had never planned on running a half so who knows. Happy running!
Steve Arpin’s crew came up with a unique way of keeping the wheels from filling with dirt from the course. The final was cancelled due to weather so they didn’t get to see how well the tape would actually work.
The GRC Lites had a tough time at MCAS New River. There were quite a few incidents throughout the weekend. Here is one of the bigger ones.
