AM - 2 miles with Finn - something's not right with him.  I think he's sick.  So I kept it short.  Came inside and did 10 mins on the treadmill walking at a 15% incline 3 mph.  

PM - Lunchtime treadmill tempo workout.  20 min warm up then 3 miles at tempo - and 10 min cool down.  Using HR to guage effort.  On this treadmill in the gym it was 6:47 pace.  

My doggie has taken a turn for the worse - we brought him to the vet who was puzzled by his condition.  Fevered and dehydrated and 3 of his four paws are red, irritated and by the end of the day they became progressively swollen and weeping.  We brought him home for the night since the fever broke and he had iv fluids in him.  Will sleep in shifts to take him into the ER if his condition worsens.  Vet gave him steroids and antibiotics - thinks he's got some bacterial infection.  Little guy is so sleepy lethargic and sad looking.

I'm so sorry. Wishing him a speedy recovery. Poor pup.

Thanks Jason - He's much better today. The meds seem to have addressed the infection and swelling and he's progressing well.
