Hi! Welcome to the first installment of Tilda Tuesdays, where you can stop by for plenty of vizsla pictures. I thought I'd start at the beginning, with a few puppy pictures from the really early days. Matilda was born in Brookings, South Dakota, at a breeder named "HR Vizsla." We went down to the farm once when she was just 4 weeks old to pick her out (out of a litter of about 8 puppies I Continue Reading

My sister is here, yay! Our packets for the race have been picked up. We're ready for the Urban Wildland Half Marathon tomorrow!

Fitting Remarks: Matilda the Vizsla’s Guide To Minneapolis
I absolutely loved The Daily Tay's Guide to Chicago from the point of view of her vizsla, Harlow. I shared it with Matilda, and she thought she should share a post to offer her own guide to Minneapolis. I mean, I have my Minneapolis Summer Bucket List, which is great and all.

Weekly Recap: A Killer Kettlebell Workout and Goodbye to July…
Can you believe July is coming to an end? This summer is going too quickly. Don't get me wrong, there's lot of fun stuff to look forward to in August, but I am still sad that this was our last July weekend. We packed a lot into our Saturday, with a long run in the heat, a work party at a lake in New Prague, and a housewarming party for one of our run club friends. Today has definitely been a Continue Reading

Last Wednesday evening, I ran the Torchlight 5k. Seriously guys, I have been running this race forever. I think this was my 8th or 9th year. But it’s so fun!

Yes, it’s true that the spectators are lining Continue Reading
