Dogs and Shot Bloks!

I ran an easy 3.5 mile run this AM with my dog who always enjoys the runs when it's not too far and not too hot.  Averaged 9:40.  Had a bunch errands/chores to do so no nap.  Went to Brushy creek and ran an uninspiring 22:45 for 2nd overall, 1st masters.  I was hot and I went too fast at the start.  Felt OK until mile 2 and then my legs gave up.  Enjoyed a quick dinner with Jim Gelb and headed home.  
I dropped all my stuff on the floor (including my race shoes with an opened bag of Shot Bloks) and headed to the tub for an ice bath.  Ice bath felt great. Hopefully my legs will feel somewhat better by the morning..very stiff left achilles - nothing new but annoying.
As I leave the bathroom, I see the dog holding something under her paws.  Turned out to be the left over Shot Bloks...amazingly she hadn't eaten them yet but she sure looked guilty and didn't argue when I took them away.
Off to bed...getting up at 4:45 am to run.
