Basso tedesco

In Italian this means low German which is what they call weiner dogs in Italy which we found hilarious. Surprisingly we saw A TON of low Germans in Rome last week on vacation. Good city for small weiners if you know what I mean. Kristen and I were in Rome for a week so a food, wine and adventuring report will follow soon. Pictures too! Ciao!

P.S. If you're wondering why we know what dachshunds are called in Italy it's because we have two low Germans of our own.

Weiner dogs are TIGHT!

My mom gave me a tight as hell Under Armor running shirt as a gift last year. Since then it's been sitting in the drawer waiting to be adorned (it's like a second skin for chrissake). I keep telling myself I have to earn the right to wear that on race day. I'd feel like a douchebag wearing that shirt only to put in a lame time. I've worked hard and want to wear it for this Sunday's race, but I think instead I'm going to give myself another challenge. 26:00 or less on the 5k (give me a break, I've only recently gone hard core about racing) and I'll wear it on the next one.

BTW, weiner dogs are tight. That's what two kids told me and Kristen one day when we were walking our dogs.
