Confession: part of the reason I wanted to get a dog was so that I’d always have to exercise. Even if it wasn’t running, I’d need to take the poor thing out for a walk from time to time (then I got a house with a backyard … theory shot … then I moved to an apartment … theory back in play!).
Now, justification for the days I take Nali on long walks instead of working out: http://www.t-nation.com/readArticle.do?id=4764803. Sold.
