Alas, Casey, our dog, has taken to running. Yes, all dogs, or shall I say most dogs run. Today, I decided to go for a short slow run to see if he would stay with me. One loop around the lake is 1.5 miles. He is still young so I didn't want to work his new muscles and tendons hard. So, we did the Hal Higdon method of run-walk but for the most part, we ran. Even when he heard dogs barking from insides their houses, he proudly kept going, almost as saying, "hey, look at me, I'm a runner and you can't distract me." He does like people so when a person was nearby, he wanted to go say hi, just like us runners. Cars were a different story. When cars passed, he sprinted and I had to keep up with him rather than him keeping up with me - a good way to do strides. Overall, we had a fine 15-20 minute run. It was fun and more importantly released some of his energy!
Days 225-235: 55 miles, 2014: 1,139 miles
